href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/topics\/mark-carney\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/topics\/mark-carney\/\">Mark Carney<\/a> has paid tribute to M\u00e9tis leader Louis Riel on the 140th anniversary of Riel\u2019s execution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Carney joined other dignitaries at Riel\u2019s grave site in Winnipeg, and said Riel fought for people\u2019s rights while the M\u00e9tis faced injustice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Carney said Riel\u2019s execution divided a young nation but his legacy helps to unite a Canada determined to learn from history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">The Manitoba M\u00e9tis Federation said Carney is believed to be the first sitting prime minister to attend<b> <\/b>the annual ceremony at Riel\u2019s grave.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Riel fought for a list of rights that paved the way for Manitoba\u2019s entry into Confederation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Riel was arrested after a later rebellion in what is now Saskatchewan, convicted of treason and hanged.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Mark Carney marks the anniversary of the death of Metis leader Louis Riel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-gmr-5\">The Canadian
