Canada West

Canada West refers to the province of Ontario, particularly during the period when Canada was being formed in the 19th century. The term arose when Canada was divided into East (primarily Quebec) and West (Ontario), with the latter representing the more developing regions. It was part of a larger context involving the Confederation in 1867, where various colonies united to create Canada. Canada West played a crucial role in shaping the nation’s economy, education, and politics, influencing policies and contributing to the westward expansion of Canada.
