We sold Alaska to the Americans?

We were suppose to get Alaska from Russia. Instead, under American pressure, we backed off and America bought it. It was sold for $7.2 Million dollars in 1867 to America.

Get your facts straight.

Russia had financial problems, yes, but they also feared that Alaska might be seized if war broke out with Britain. USA at the time was a "friendly nation" for Russia, Britain (and by extension, Canada), were not.

Where does it say that Russia offered Alaska to Canada?

That's about a border dispute over "part" of Alaska, not a sale. Canada only wanted a direct passage to the sea from the Yukon.

Russia NEVER offered to sell Alaska to Canada, and Canada NEVER offered to sell Alaska to the USA.
