A Fur-ocious Competitor
The presence of Target Root Country Adjective traders in Western James Bay poses a significant threat to our Fur trading endeavors in Lower Canada. It is imperative that we establish our very own trading company in this territory and attempt to outcompete them, or risk that exploration of the Hudson Bay route shifts the focus of the Fur trade away from the St. Lawrence River.

We should strive to chart this unexplored area, or risk that their presence shifts the focus of the Fur trade away from the St. Lawrence River.

18565historical_info = flavor_eng.181.historical_info The Hudson's Bay Company was a fur trading business for much of its existence and today operates as a retail business group. The company was granted a commercial monopoly in 1670 over the entire Hudson Bay area. Evidence of the potential of the area was presented by two French merchants, who upon returning to England sought and gained the sponsorship of Prince Rupert.
