"1867 Confederation" ???...where did you get that ?...Canada is a Federal state and NOT a Confederate Association of SOVEREIGN States, the usual meaning of « Confederation », oui ?

In 2017 Canada  celebrate his 150th Birthday, so they say ?
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Canada G4= joint venture between (dominant) ONTARIO & Québec 
but in the “backseat” are Nova Scotia (aka Acadia) & New Brunswick (aka Acadia)
Rest of Canada (RoC) will wait to celebrated in a few years then ?
G5 in 1870 with Manitoba
G6 in 1871 with British Columbia
G7 in 1873 with Prince Edward Island
G9 in 1905 with Alberta & Saskatchewan
G10 in 1949 with Newfoundland

It may be the 150th Anniversary of Canada...“Federation” (oui?)
But it is the 375th Anniversary of Montréal too
How could it be ?...Montréal is OLDER than Canada ?
What was the NAME of that country BEFORE his 150th Anniversary then ?...
How they called themselves ?
So Québec is much more OLDER than Canada ?...
In 2008 Québec celebrated his 400th Birthday
