The real paradigm for Canadian Confederation in 1867 was to take resources from Atlantic and Western Canada to build up Upper and Lower Canada. 

Canadian Confederation in 1867 was a SHAMSHOW orchestrated by the likes of Upper Canadians like Tommy et al.

That 65% of Nova Scotians figured out and voted against their evil scheme back in 1868 still seems to cause them great consternation.

What Trollin' Tommy is also quite clearly neglecting to mention here is that "a petition of 31,000 names" represented 65% of the Nova Scotian population in 1868.

Obfuscating and churlish.
