It's partly because for quite a long time there _were_ very few Europeans in most of Canada outside Québec that were not engaged somehow in the fur trade. Another factor to consider is something that we see today, that we rarely hear about people who lead what appear to be relatively uneventful, unspectacular lives. Even many of the people of Québec into the 18th and 19th centuries had some association with the fur trade.
