Canadas treatment towards Metis

Canada left the Metis alone for the not part. They let then create their own laws and Canada was not very upset about them leaving. They left for a god reason and Canada understood that. Their economy was based off buffalo hunting and there were not many buffalo left in the Manitoba area. Another issue was with the scrips. They were not very helpful since you didn’t know where or what type of land you were gonna get. This led the Metis to sell their scrips for a lot less than what they were worth, but it was going to make their life easier. When Lawrence Clarke came into this he ruined the Metis lives. He paid the Metis carriers very little and made their lives dificult. He also got a magistrate to enforce Canadian laws in the north west terriotries. Once he realized he had this power, he started pitting in laws that would only help the HBC which made life very dificult for the metis who moved there.
