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 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.

In Canada he is. Canada bought Ruperts Land and acted like there was no people living there and if any where they would be thrilled to be ruled by Canada.

Why was ruperts land called ruperts land?
Rupert's Land refers to a large land grant made to The Hudson's Bay Company by King Charles II of England in May of 1670 at the dawn of the North American fur trade explosion. The land grant was issued for a term of 200 years and comprised of the "Seas, Streightes, Bayes, Rivers, Lakes, Creekes and Soundes in whatsoever Latitude they shall bee that lye within the entrance of the Streightes commonly called Hudsons Streightes..." (sic). Essentially, all of the land that Hudson's Bay drained into. As knowledge of the overall geography of North America was vague at this time, it is doubtful the King realized he was essentially granting all the land north to the North Pole; west to the Pacific Ocean; and south to the point where the claim abutted claims by other British subjects, or other states. The name "Rupert's Land" comes from the first governor of The Hudson's Bay Company, the King's cousin, Prince Rupert.
