The Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) controlled the fur trade. Or did it? HBC was the major player in the fur trade, but it faced stiff competition at times from Montréal merchants. It cannot be stated baldly that HBC completely controlled the fur trade.

Yes, HBC, or the Hudson's Bay Company, was apart of the fur trade. In fact they are still around nowadays as "The Bay".
