Sorry, I'm not entirely sure about this but i think it is because they did NOT want to expand to the west. I'm pretty sure that since they became a part of Canada, meaning they had their own rights, and if they were going to expand to the west ( which is what William McDougall WANTED to do) they would lose everything. Like their rights. Feel free to correct it.

This is why Canada used such extreme force in response to Western Discontent at not being consulted as to who their new leaders would be.
