The Russian Empire, fearing the loss of Alaska in a future conflict, hoped to sell it instead of losing it. They had hoped to start a bidding war between the U.S. and the British Empire, but the British weren't interested in buying it. Thus, the focus of the transaction became the United States.
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.
Canada, New Zealand, and Australia were no longer part of Britain's Commonwealth after WW2. Canada worked closer with the US, being geographically closer anyway...and the US Army built the Alaskan Highway THROUGH Canada from the lower 48 states up to and through the current state of Alaska. With Japanese Forces OCCUPYING parts of Alaska, it was important to get troops up there. Canada is PART OF NORTH AMERICA too. Canadians consider themselves to be "Americans."

Alaska (It is a US state)
Well, Alaska is part of the US. So it isn't far at all.
Alaska is a US state, but it is not connected to the 48 contiguous states. It borders Canada. It is part of North America, the major countries of which are Mexico, Canada, and the US. It was originally colonized by Russia, and was sold to the US in 1867. There is no apparent connection of Alaska to China.
