In 1874, the Government of Canada set provisional provincial boundaries which extended the territory of Ontario both to the west and to the north.
The Government of Canada set the northern boundary of Ontario at the height of land between the St. Lawrence and Hudson Bay watersheds.
This led, in 1874, to new provisional boundaries for the province, which included the disputed territory and extended the northern boundary of the province to the fifty-first parallel of latitude.

New provisional boundaries are assigned to northern Ontario in 1874.

The eastern boundaries closely conform to natural features such as drainage basins, while the boundaries of western and northern Canada reflect the administrative organisation of these lands by, first, the Hudson’s Bay Company and later the Government of Canada.

 Newfoundland History in the 1860s
The Confederation issue of this period was played out against a background of several years in the early 1860s of economic depression, a depression which led many Newfoundlanders to regard the issue as a viable option to their economic woes.
It is against this background that the issue of political Confederation with Canada in 1864 first beckoned on the Newfoundland political scene.

The British Admiralty did not have the authority to extend permission to use the Red Ensign on land, but this technicality was ignored by the Canadian government and by the population at large.
Indeed, in this strict sense Canada did not have an "official" flag until the current Maple Leaf flag was adopted by the Liberal Party in 1965.
That said, for most Canadians in the 19th and first half of the 20th century the fine points of flag legislation were irrelevant: Canada had a flag and that flag was the Red Ensign.

 Immigration Report of 1874 for Quebec
I have received and answered, either by letter or by printed documented, written enquiries about emigration to Canada from over eleven hundred individuals, and have distributed, through the mails and through the emigration agencies, seventeen thousand pamphlets, circulars and maps, descriptive of Canada in the different Scandinavian dialects and in the Finnish language.
They are a hardy, frugal and industrious race---the oldest type of the Scandinavians---they are well inured to a northerly climate, are excellent herdsmen and fishermen, and I believe that the eastern coast of Canada would be well adapted for their future home; and this seems also to be the prevailing opinion among their leading men.
They are not shiftless or roving, but remain where they go, under reasonable advantages, and improve the country; and the statistics of the Western States demonstrate that they furnish a less number of paupers and criminals than any other European nation in proportion to their number.
