It is a nice overview in the short time allotted for this presentation. The actual facts are scattered out there, but the history books still do not have it completely right. The fascinating details include his signing of the porchbook at House of Commons although a wanted man. Largely ignored fact is that 1884-5 started as a farmers' protest of both whites including my family and metis in NWT over lack of transportation that narrowed down to an ill planned uprising. It did bring the railroad to the west, albeit not for the settlers, but for Eastern Canada to gain control.

I am shocked there is no discussion of the Orangemen's agitation that led to the Metis' conviction and hanging of Thomas Scott during the Red River Resistance (1870). This execution would plague Riel for the rest of his life despite that he did not himself convict Scott. In fact, according to Howard Adams, Riel only gave testimony and advocated for a more lenient sentencing of Scott. Riel would go on to be denied a seat in the House of Commons despite his fair election (he did not simply "leave" as the video states, but the House held a vote to prevent him from attaining his seat), and later was himself hanged for unjust murder charges in connection with the execution of Thomas Scott. It's disappointing that this short film with 250000 views contains misleading facts and omissions.

The execution of Thomas Scott, really was his downfall. It just gave English Ontario (who were controlling things at the time, especially English media) the impetus to go after him. The English / French tension has always been there to this day. Riel also broke the HBC monopoly, which likely upset the English too. Although I am English, I am far more sympathetic to French and especially Native perspectives then my genealogy. Frankly speaking, if the French had won Canada back in 1759.....and been more dominant, I truly believe we’d have better (more balanced) lifestyles and the natives would be more dominant and a stronger voice today. The native residential schools issue would never have happened, among many other anti-native things. The native issue is a continuous event that still has not been corrected right to this minute. My Great grandfather, unfortunately, was part of the ‘police’ that went after Riel. I’m sure he was just following his orders.
@carolhutchinson5662 жыл бұрын

I also like to entertain counter-factual narratives. For instance, I sometimes wonder what would have happened if Napoleon had been victorious at Waterloo. Because my family is from India, I had a slight anti-British bias (which I have since discarded). Good for you for looking past your genealogy and seeing things from the other side. As for your great-grandfather, he truly was just doing his duty. And, in fairness, the execution of Scott was probably a valid reason to go after Riel. When we remember him and exonerate him of his crime, we are really using our hearts. Objectively speaking, he was guilty. But a solid man nonetheless. Thank you again for the reply.

Riel's execution in 1885 for treason cost Macdonald the support of many French Canadians, who thought Riel was fighting for French Canadian rights.

My school used to hold field trips that highlighted a trip to the St. Boniface Basilica and Louis Riel's grave monument. We grew up admiring him as a hero of our city. When did the narrative change to make him to be a villain?

This is some false information. Louis Riel was never married and didn't have children. He was engaged but his fiance's parents did not agree for marriage. He also never had any children.
