Louis Riel!!
Of course it would be Louis Riel, the founder of the Manitoba Province. Louis Riel, a leader of his people in their resistance against the Canadian government in the Canadian Northwest, is perhaps the most controversial figure in Canadian historiography.
Tommy Douglas
Tommy Douglas was a remarkable Canadian whose contributions have helped to shape our great nation. Although he is most famous as the founding father of Medicare, the most advanced health-care system in the world, Douglas’ contributions to Manitoba and Canada were tremendous. Douglas established democratic socialism as a mainstream in Canadian politics and his CCF government became the first socialist government in North America. A visionary who achieved his dreams, Douglas changed the face of Canadian politics. More importantly, Tommy Douglas was a politician who put the good of the people he represented first and foremost. He lived and grew up in Manitoba but he came the Premier of Saskatchewan later on his life. He was probably the most influencing politician that didn't get elected as Prime Minister
And......
Jordan Warner !!!!
Growing up in Roblin, Manitoba, Jordan Warner lived the storybook life of a prairie child, playing hockey, baseball, and every sport that his small town could offer.
