What were they territories in 1867 in Canada?

In 1867, Canada was established as a federation comprising four provinces: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. This confederation marked the beginning of Canada as a unified nation, though it initially did not include all territories and provinces that would later join. The territories, including areas like the Northwest Territories and Yukon, were not part of Canada at the time; they were largely under the control of the Hudson's Bay Company and the British Crown. Over the following decades, Canada expanded to include these regions and other provinces.
