Larger United Province of Canada

Following the 36-37's rebellion, UK United Lower and Upper Canada into a single goverment in 1841, could they have add up the Maritimes colonies to it and if so what would have been the consequence (they would have reshape the assembly for sure)
 
Hmmm, don't know how I missed this.

To please Lower Canada, the House still might be split 50-50. On the other hand, with the Maritimes already in the United Province, their will be no need for any Confederation.

What you might see as the decades progress is a need to restructure the nation.

One thing I'm certain of is that Canada will most definitely more centralised than it was in OTL (which itself was considerable, but with lesser provincial rights at the get go, you probably won't see British interference resulting in the loss of central power).

More thoughts on this later.
 
No way Atlantic Canada would go for it. The focus of their economy is towards Europe, not towards the Continent. If they joined the Province of Canada much of their industrial base would head West (like it did later in OTL) leaving them economically weak. Also remember that Atlantic Canada had some of the strongest anti-confederation movements.
