How did the euro-canadians live in 1885 during the north-west rebellion?
How they lived depended on where they were. For those staying in Provincial Canada it was business as usual with the exception of more hate or rage towards the Northwest residents and increased sympathy to the Canadian Settlers there. For those Canadians that traveled to or lived in the recently acquired territories, particularly for those in what is today Saskatchewan, it was different matter. They were part of the Canadian response to earlier rebellions by the people included in a massive land transfer from Britain to Canada and were not being warmly welcomed. Most were Canadians from Ontario, some from Quebec. Those involved in or supportive of the previous rebellions included Europeans who worked for the HBC, mostly Scots and Metis who were both Scottish and Aboriginal. The Metis of the Red River area were mixed aboriginal and French Canadian, also called Metis. Of course there were many aboriginals as well. The Metis had been pacified in previous rebellions by both the Canadian military response, a big stick, and promise of guaranteed rights via the Manitoba Act, a big carrot. It was soon clear that Canada had never intended to fully grant the land or the rights promised, not even in Manitoba where the promises were in writing. The Prime Minister John A MacDonald said of the Metis that they were spoiled and people to be kept down by a strong hand until they were swamped by the influx of settlers. Canada quickly flooded the area with immigrants from Canada, mostly from Ontario. With the Canadians came a new culture and an attitude that they, the Canadians owned the land, not the residents. By 1883 land was being granted in Manitoba but not to the residents or Metis as promised. Canadians and those considered "loyal" were given the bulk of the land, even squatter rights and a similar policy was being administered all across Canada's new Colonies. This lead to violence and several battles between rebels, Aboriginal and Metis, with ties to the land and Canada who by now had a railway with the ability to move troops quickly. Canada was able to apply the strong hand to those wanting rights Canada did not want to give. The violence was directed at Canadians, and as such several euro-Canadians, were killed in several incidents. One of the worst was a Frog Lake in what is today Saskatchewan. There Aboriginals and some Metis killed 9 people, all white or euro-Canadians. Those few Canadians in the area fled for their lives. The drama that occurred is well recorded in the story of the Mckay families 12 day journey from certain death in Poundmaker to safety in Prince Albert via the icy rivers Battle and Saskatchewan. For other Canadians in the West they were safe. Protection for most was due to the presence of Canadian troops and the paramilitary organisation the NWMP, todays RCMP, as well as the displacement of residents, particularly French Metis, that had already occurred in some areas. Settler rage was being stoked by Canadians depictions of the violence as one fueled by race and savagery. As a result most Canadians in West, even if not in the area's being threatened, would be upset and angry. Those few that had any sympathy for the people included in the land transfer were quiet and those residents that were not Metis or Aboriginal, were for the most part quick to side with the Canadians during the troubles. 1885 was a defining year in many ways and helped lay the foundation for relationships that last to this day.
