Quality rating[edit]

This was rated "B" previous to my seeing the article, but it currently has 1 (one) reference and a few 'citation needed' tags. It is definitely not a B or even a C-class article at this time. I have changed the quality ratings to 'start'. PK T(alk) 20:11, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Plan to Edit Page[edit]

It is my plan to edit this article as it is clearly lacking proper citations. There are some articles or works referenced in the "Reference" section, however, they are not cited throughout the article. My plan is to review and read the reference list material and properly cite the information. In addition to fixing the citations, I will also add more material to this page. This page is brief and to the point but it is lacking a lot of the crucial historical context that would help readers better understand how and why this union came into existence. Moreover, I will add more material to explain why the emergence of this union is important to Canadian history. Overall, the structure and foundation of this article are in good shape, it just needs a few minor adjustments.

Here is a preliminary list of sources I plan on using to add to this page.
