Canada is not Canada if any province were to separate.
Why? It was Canada before all the provinces joined.
No, it wasn't.

I guess I'm just curious why you think Canada wasn't Canada until all the provinces joined.
Oh...there was a PROVINCE of Canada, but it wasn't a nation - wait a second, you don't think that it was, do you?
And i'm interested in knowing how Nova Scotia saw itself as Canada prior to Confederation. Or New Brunswick? Perhaps you could elaborate on this in light of the Maritime Union movement.

Confederation was in 1867. Aside from the other provinces BC joined in 1871, Newfoundland joined in 1949, which kind of proves my point. Canada was a country before all of the provinces joined.

I think there was a difference in interpretation here. There was a Canada before all the provinces joined in Confederation. Canada came into existence as a nation in 1867, and Manitoba, BC, PEI, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and eventually Newfoundland, joined a pre existing nation.

What? You claimed, Canada was Canada before the provinces joined. It wasn't. There was indeed a province, but that was it. The Maritimes were exploring there own union and others initially rejected it. In fact some provinces were actually created by acts of Parliament.
I noticed you conveniently dodged my questions - I guess "huh?" is in order again.

Actually there was a Province of Canada before the Confederation. After 1867 it was the Dominion of Canada that included the provinces/colonies, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. That's it. All the other provinces/colonies either joined or were created by acts of Parliament.

No, it wasn't. There was a PROVINCE OF CANADA (created by the 1840 Act of Union) prior to Confederation. That's it. Nova Scotia wasn't Canada. Either was New Brunswick. What part don't you get?

Yep, it was the Province of Canada which was basically modern Ontario and Quebec.
We had a Lt Gov for Upper Canada/Canada West and Lower Canada/Canada East and a Governer General for the 'Canada's'.

Actually, you wrote, "Canada was a country before all of the provinces joined." You're wrong. There was a province of Canada BEFORE Confederation. After 1867, it became the Dominion of Canada. Post Confederation SOME provinces joined, some were created by acts of Parliaments and a colony joined. This really is rudimentary Canadian political history.
