 Manitoba Pageant: Manitoba's Own Mounties
The Province of Manitoba has associations with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police that cannot be claimed by any other province.
The Red River Uprising had passed without clash of arms and the new province was outwardly calm, but the Indians and Métis were restless on a number of counts: insecurity of land tenure, the growing pattern of agricultural settlement, and the disappearance of the buffalo.
The Métis guides were to render invaluable assistance to the “Mounties,” and while riding on the flanks or scouting in the van, their horses stood up to the strain without loss or harm to a single animal.

 Western Canadian History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Since Wolseley's troops were full of revenge, talking of slaughtering Riel and his Metis friends, the better part of valour was discretion.
When the Manitoba Act was settled, and the various extra-legal amendments were carried through, there were enough greedy men involved to completely alter the outcome for the Metis.
Tough brutes, accustomed to bullying their way through business dealings with small landholders and weak bureaucrats, the land speculators who took control of the Metis land settlements process were determined liars working in the pay of ruthless lawyers and bankers from Upper Canada with relationships to the Canadian government.

A political scientist educated at Harvard and the University of Michigan, Santos had already lost three elections (a failed provincial nomination bid and two unsuccessful runs for Winnipeg city council) when he was finally elected as an MLA in 1981.
When the Broadway riding was dissolved through boundary redistribution in 1999, he immediately announced he was bidding for the Wellington nomination, then held by incumbent Becky Barrett.
Santos is a mucker and perhaps worthy of re-nomination based on his tireless efforts on behalf of the NDP in Winnipeg’s core.
