Louis David Riel was a freedom loving man who died fighting for freedom.

Hanged by the Canadian government on November 16, 1885. Much of what he fought for eventually came to pass.

Need an October Holiday and one associated with Freedom

Louis Riel Day, October 22. His birthday.

Viva le Peuple

Do any EA members up north of the 49th have any special plans for October 22?

Maybe you should. Since we are so close, consider visiting America and smell the sweet air of Freedom

Moi

Allons enfants de la Patrie

Le jour de gloire est arrivé !

Viva Riel!

I have always admired your vision and your endless love in pumping protests and war

Best wishes from the peaceful Constantinople and cheers with a glass of wine to the Bosphorus

Another October 22 already.

DuMont was the traitor.

I have been studying.

I Wonder

might Louis Riel be Canada's John Brown? Both of them had their passions become law with their martyrdom.

I first learned of Louis as a kid in a couple of TV series westerns where his character appeared working as a school teacher if I remember correctly.
