Influenced by Charles Darwin, people at the end of the nineteenth century believed that in order to survive as a group or species, a nation, like a plant, needed to spread out and occupy more territory.
Darwin wrote in Origin of Species that plants and animals that lived in large, open continental areas were hardier than those living on islands since they were subject to greater competition.
This idea motivated the British to "send out" colonists to the open expanses of the Canadian west. The idea also existed that those able to pioneer and adapt to new territories would be "selected" by nature as winners in the battle for survival.
This factor can be explored more fully by typing "darwin" and "settlement of the Canadian West" into a Google search.
