Happy Louis Riel Day!

I’ll leave it up to Wikipedia to give you the lowdown on who Louis Riel was, and why my province of Manitoba named a holiday after him. You ‘Mericans are celebrating President’s Day with a show of patriotism, I’m sure, and peeps from Alberta to Ontario have the bland Family Day partially off.

But here in the 204, we’ve got a holiday named after an executed traitor. Yesss!

I love treason, sure, but this is one holiday I love for the T-shirts:
