Question

I have an upcoming debate about the Canadian Confederation. I'm on the side of Newfound land and I'm stating why I should join the Confederation.

- It will get more money since Britain won't longer carry the costs
- Canada promised Newfoundland railways and roads
- Stronger military
- Stronger economy for people of Newfoundland

What are other reasons why they joined? Or why they wouldn't?

I'm not quite fully understanding the whole Confederation thing. Help!
