Who was Louis Riel?

The father of Manitoba
Canada's first Prime Minister
The Scottish-born director of the Canadian Pacific Railway
The first French-Canadian prime minister

The correct answer is: The father of Manitoba

Louis Riel was a prominent Canadian political leader and founder of the province of Manitoba. He is often referred to as the "father of Manitoba" as he played a key role in the formation and development of the province. While choices B, C, and D are all notable individuals in Canadian history, they are not the correct answer for the question. Canada's first Prime Minister was Sir John A. Macdonald, the Scottish-born director of the Canadian Pacific Railway was William Cornelius Van Horne, and the first French-Canadian prime minister was Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Therefore, these options are incorrect and do not accurately describe who Louis Riel was.
