Best Answer

Newfoundland didn't join confederation in 1867 because they were wealthy from their fishing and lumber industry. But in the 1930's during the great depression the world cut back on trade and Newfoundland could no longer afford to pay for its hospitals, schools and other services therefore that is why Newfoundland joined confederation.
