Is Louis riel gay?
Canada had and still has a large propaganda campaign designed to discredit Riel and justify their killing of him. In the 1800's and early 1900's homosexuals and their followers would be given very little support so it would be a great rumor to spread.

What are differences and similarities between Louis Riel and Thomas Scott?
Thomas Scott and Louis Riel both lived in Red River around 1869. They also were both powerful public speakers for opposite parties. Louis Riel believed that the Metis should have a voice and Scott did not. Scott came from Ireland where they believed that Catholics should not have a voice, so his prejudice probably developed from that controversy in his own country. Louis Riel also drafted The Metis List of Rights. Riel viewed Scott as a threat and ordered his provisional government to arrest him, where he was found guilty of treason, and executed in 1870
When Louis Riel killed Scott?
NOTE: Louis Riel did not personally kill Thomas Scott. Scott was executed by firing squad.Thomas Scott was in jail because he was captured while leading an armed force with the intention of overthrowing Riel's government. He was killed because he was the most violent prisoner there and he made death threats to Louis Riel, he escaped and said he would return and kill Louis Riel so Riel killed him because he was afraid that if he didn't Thomas Scott would kill him. While Riel did not reach out and shoot Scott himself he did order it and the reason certainly includes fear. It also includes authority. Riel was a leader selected by some of those who lived in the area to be part of the government representing the citizens.Those who did not recognize that government's authority were threats to the government and people. One of the best ways to assert a government's authority is to use force, to kill people, a right governments had automatically in those days.That Riel had the backing of most of the people in Manitoba was proven when, after Manitoba was made a province, he was elected as an MP even though he was in exile.
What happened with refusing to let the government surveyors survey the land in red river?

Was Louis Riel a Criminal?
Louis Riel was a Métis political leader who led two resistance movements against the Canadian government.

Riel is now recognized as a key figure in Canadian history for his advocacy of Métis rights.
What is the government's view of Louis Riel?
Not good. Louis Riel disproves many Canadian myths, including that nice peaceful myth. Canada took land by force, killed those who stood in it's way and then vilified the dead while writing a glorious history to teach all Canadians. Which would be all so much easier if Riel and those like him would just go away.
