fuir - aujourd'hui c'est la journée Louis Riel. Manitoba's equivalent of "Family Day." Louis Riel Day is in honour of the controversial hero to French Canada and traitor to others. He stood up for the rights of Francophones, Aboriginals and métis groups. He turned Manitoba into a republic that lasted only a few hours, and was eventually hanged in 1885 as he was convicted for treason. This only outraged French and Aboriginal groups in Canada, and the effects are still felt to this very day.
