Why did Canada not purchase Alaska?

Alaska was purchased by the US from Russia on March 30, 1867. In March of 1867, what we now know as Canada consisted of a few scattered British colonies. Canadian Confederation did not occur until July 1, 1867. Canada could not have purchased Alaska because, at the time of the Alaska purchase, Canada did not have the sovereign authority to enter into such an arrangement.

Why did Congress not want to purchase Alaska?

The answer is dependent upon the timeframe of the question. Before the United States purchased Alaska from Russia, Canada would have had every opportunity to negotiate with Russia regarding the purchase of Alaska, as did the United States. So, Canada simply COULD HAVE purchased Alaska as the United States did. Why Canada didn't express interest is totally speculative. One has to wonder what strategic advantage to the country that Alaska would have offered, except to extend its western shores further north. Canada is already vast and sparsely populated with an incredible abundance of natural resources. Unclear what value Alaska would have had to Canada. After the United States purchased Alaska, it would have been contrary to almost all U.S. practices to sell Alaska to Canada - the United States has never sold a territory it owns to another country. Instead, the United States has returned territory it claimed/acquired back to countries that could claim rights to the territory from earlier times. Even if the United States was open to selling Alaska to Canada, it was not long after its purchase of Alaska that the United States began understanding the value of Alaska, with its timber, mineral, fishing, fur and oil/gas resources. Undoubtedly the cost to Canada to purchase Alaska would have been significant - far greater than the cost to the United States. One has to wonder, again, what value Alaska brings to Canada, especially if Alaska would sell at a much inflated price.[actually ,no they could not have.canada had no money.
