Louis riel was a traitor because:
1. He executed Thomas Scott
2. he fled to the USA when the Metis needed him most
3. he rebelled against the government illegally.
4. he betrayed his country after the rebellion failed.
5. he almost destroyed the Metis community
6. he went crazy - with religion and the Metis community.

Although Louis Riel was convicted of High Treason, in the opinion of many Canadians he was definitely not a traitor. He led a movement attempting to assert the rights of the people of mixed European and aboriginal descent in what is now the province of Manitoba against the incursions of the Canadian government. This resulted in some battles with Canadian military and police personnel, and some deaths. However, it cannot be clearly stated that Riel's actions were unjustifiable, making him a traitor.
