Which company dominated the fur trade and contributed to the development of cities like Winnipeg and Victoria?

  1. East India Company

  2. Hudson's Bay

  3. Canadian Pacific Railway

  4. Royal Canadian Mint

The correct answer is: Hudson's Bay

Hudson's Bay was the most successful company in the fur trade in Canada. While the East India Company primarily traded in goods from Asia, it did not have a significant presence in Canada. The Canadian Pacific Railway, while an important transportation company, did not play a major role in the fur trade. The Royal Canadian Mint was responsible for producing and distributing currency, but it did not have a direct impact on the development of cities like Winnipeg and Victoria through the fur trade.
