How did the Metis act when Ruperts land was purchased by Canada?
Today the term Metis refer to all those of European and Aboriginal mixed blood but when Canada purchased Ruperts Land, complete with people, Metis referred to French and Aboriginal mixed bloods. Most mixed bloods in Ruperts Land were Scottish Aboriginal or British Aboriginal and that is still the case for Western Canada. This answer will refer to all those of European Aboriginal mixed blood as Metis. They responded as anyone would if they had found themselves being sold to a new country without being consulted. First with questions, then with action which included creating their own government to talk to Canada with. Canada would not accept any such governments in their colonies and responded violently. The Metis and other met violence with violence but were out numbered and out gunned.
Where had the Metis fled after the red river rebellion?
They did not flee, they held their ground, putting Canada into the position of purging the land of Metis and other people included in their purchase of Ruperts Land. Canada choose to blame just the leaders who fled to the United States as refugees.
How many colonies in Canada?
Lots of European colonies. For starters there was Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI, New Brunswick, Upper and Lower Canada, the Province of Canada, and British Columbia. But there were many more than that. New France was a French Colony, and Ruperts Land and the Northwest Territories are sometimes viewed as, or administered as British Colonies, as was the Red River Colony, though they didn't have the same standing as say the Province of Canada. At one point the Spanish claimed the West Coast as part of it's colony New Spain, and Russia claimed part of our coast was part of their colony Russia America. Norway and Denmark also had claims that part of our North was part of their colonial possessions. Then there are colonies of Canada. These include North-West Territories, Manitoba, District of Keewatin, Yukon Territory, District of Athabasca, District of Alberta, District of Assiniboia, District of Saskatchewan, and the Prairie provinces, Manitoba, Saskachewan, and Alberta which were effectively administered as colonies when they were first created out of districts and territories. And the newest addition, Nunavut Territory. I'm sure I've missed a few but that's the bulk of them.
