Brigham Young desired to settle on Vancouver Island which caused the Hudson Bay Company and the British government consternation. This article documents Mormon efforts to move into Canada and the efforts to keep them out. In 1849 the Parliament granted exclusive rights to Vancouver Island to the Hudson Bay Company. In an effort to parlay the persecution due to polygamy, Brigham Young directed Charles O. Card and others to settle in Canada--not on Vancouver Island but in Cardston, Alberta, in 1887. When Card crossed into British Columbia, he said, 'I took off my hat, swung it around and shouted 'in Columbia we are free.''
