I think I noticed a sign at cantor's grocery that they are closed or closed for 1/2 day.
I didn't pay any attention. Is this a manitoba holiday? Are we celebrating that he was hung by white men in RCMP outfits that day? Or are we celebrating his birthday?

His birthday is in November. Just remember it was a meaningless holiday, and some school kid contest won the naming rights. Doesn't have to make sense as long as we get a day off, right?

that day is actually very close to one of the very important days in our history
"On 7 February, a new list of rights was presented to the Ottawa delegation, and Smith and Riel agreed to send representatives to Ottawa to engage in direct negotiations on that basis"
