Riel was a hero.. end of story.... should be on the toonie... and no before you say it... not the loonie.

[ShepherdsDog]

He wasn't a hero...end of rope.

[kenmore]

Maybe Sir John and the tories should have been charged with murder.. ?

[ShepherdsDog]

What? For hanging a seditious frog?? Gee Kermie, maybe they were closet muslims who were getting off turning a Catholic into a piñata.

Good old Goldring, what a useless tit. He was my MP for a while, until gerrymandering moved NE Edmonton out of Edmonton East into the Edmonton-Sherwood Park riding, which includes Fort Saskatchewan and goes all the way to Elk Island Park.

He is far more Reform than Conservative (his awful leaflets are proof positive of that) and frankly I'm glad I'm not in his riding any longer, although I don't care for my vote being buried by thousands of farmers and rich suburbanites, who blindly vote PC-Reform-Conservative every election.

Maybe Harper can ask this tool to retire before the next election...

[CanadianJeff]

Let's just hope he takes Vellacot with him. Seriously if I was Harper I'd start combing through some of the more radical elements of the reform party for dismissals. It's caused almost no end of trouble.

Speaking of loonie...

[DrRosen]

Riel was a lunatic. He likely shouldn't have been executed, strictly on the legal case, but what else was MacDonald to do? If he'd appeared weak on insurgency, the Union army would have rolled right in and grabbed the prairies.

You obviously are a racist pig.. the use of the word frog is much like the N word.
Riel was a hero and is a hero to thousands of people. He should be exonerated and his name added to the fathers of Confederation.. I take back the racist comment...change it to you are either immature, uneducated or just plain ignorant.

Must not remember your own tirades against Muslims hypocrite

I agree and I've heard more francos than anglos use it, just like blacks using the "n" word.

As Hitler is a hero to those misguided neo nazi trash.

Nope, history holds him up as a traitorous murderer and that's how he should be remembered.

[kenmore]

Well we will see.. movement is under way to change that.. Harper who recognizes us as a Nation might just recognize him as the hero he was and is. You might see him on the five dollar bill.. and who is the Harvard grad that made this statement...."I agree and I've heard more francos than anglos use it, just like blacks using the "n" word." what a loser comment

Conservatives just need to think of Riel as fighting against federal tax instead of racial extermination, and they'll think of him as a hero.
