Jacques Cartier did not establish a permanent settlement in New France primarily due to harsh climate conditions, a lack of adequate supplies, and conflicts with Indigenous peoples. His expeditions focused on exploration and claiming territory for France rather than on establishing a lasting colony. Additionally, the French crown was initially more interested in finding a passage to Asia and extracting resources rather than committing to permanent settlement efforts. These factors combined led to the absence of a permanent settlement during Cartier's time.
