Louis Riel -- Founder of Manitoba / Father of Confederation

Louis Riel Quotes:
"I am glad the Crown have proved that I am the leader of the half-breeds in the Northwest. I will perhaps be one day acknowledged as more than a leader of the half-breeds, and if I am, I will have an opportunity of being acknowledged as a leader of good in this great country."
"I am more convinced everyday that without a single exception I did right. And I have always believed that, as I have acted honestly, the time will come when the people of Canada will see and acknowledge it."
"In a little while it will be over. We may fail. But the rights for which we contend will not die."
Louis Riel, May 6, 1885, Batoche, N.W.T.
"Yes, I have done my duty. During my life I have aimed at practical results. I hope that after my death my spirit will bring practical results. All that I have done and risked... Rested certainly on the conviction that I was called upon to do something for my country I know that through the grace of God I am the founder of Manitoba."

​II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
​As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
​The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...

Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
