Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the events leading up to the trial and execution of Louis Riel, a controversial figure in Canadian history. The author presents arguments against a proposed bill in the House of Commons that sought to express regret over Riel's execution. Through an analysis of historical documents, the author contends that Riel received a fair trial, despite claims to the contrary, and that the government acted appropriately in carrying out the sentence. The book also explores broader themes related to the administration of justice, the role of the executive, and the complexities of dealing with political dissent in a democratic society. Ultimately, the author asserts that the government's actions were justified and that Riel's execution was a necessary consequence of his crimes.
