Canada didn't sell it to the US; Russia did. Canada owned it first, then Russia, now the US. Russia found it useless and hard to get to because of the water body that separated it from Russia.
Before Canada, Rupert's Land was owned by the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC), which was granted a royal charter by King Charles II in 1670. This vast territory encompassed parts of present-day Canada, including regions from the Hudson Bay to the Rocky Mountains. The HBC operated it as a fur trading area for nearly two centuries until it was ceded to Canada in 1870.
The United States.
The Mexican Cession was the name granted the region of the modern day Southwestern US that Mexico gave up to the US. Before this, it was considered another part of Mexico.
It was a Spanish Colony for more than 400 years.
Before Canada existed as a nation, Alaska was owned by Russia. Russia then sold Alaska to the United States.
Canada is not owned by the USA. Canada is an independent country, and Canada is not owned by anybody, other than Canadians, and never will.
