The Canadas
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Canadas.
The Canadas were merged into a single entity in 1841, shortly after Lord Durham published his Report on the Affairs of British North America. His report held several recommendations, most notably union of the Canadas. Acting on his recommendation, the British Parliament passed the Act of Union 1840, which went into effect in 1841, uniting the Canadas into the Province of Canada.
