Residents of the Red River Colony disagree…

November 1869 CE

Residents of the Red River Colony disagree over how to negotiate with Canada; in particular, the French- and English-speaking inhabitants do not have a consensus on how to proceed.

In a conciliatory gesture, Riel on November 6 asks the Anglophones to select delegates from each of their parishes to attend a convention with the Métis representatives.

After few accomplishments at the first meeting, some of the Anglophone delegates express displeasure at Riel's treatment of McDougall.
