This encyclopedia article explains that competition in the fur trade did not end after the 1821 merger of the North West Company and Hudson's Bay Company. The Metis and other private traders were active with American trade companies. Gold miners, farmers and settlers came to the fur trading areas, and eventually the Canadian Government purchased the land owned by the HBC and started to expand the region by railroad and populating the land with grants of agricultural territory to immigrants.
