Impact on Canada

Radisson and des Groseilliers had a huge positive impact all over Canada. They expanded the fur trade across Canada and established new trading routes. Although they had a positive impact, they also had a negative impact. They broke laws and got arrested for a short time, because they were fur trading without permission. Although this was not that bad of an impact, they did break the law. Did you know, that people who fur trade without permission are called Coureurs de Bois, which means runners of the woods.
