I only know about what I just read on wiki, but it seems like Riel was not someone you would want in charge because he executed Scott just to show everone he was in power.

And what's Marrsi? The picture is Riel and the group were the Metis?

This is the first time I hear about this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Riel

"Marrsi" sounds like "Merci" in French, meaning "Thank you"

I know nothing about any of this, but DDG turned this up in the first search result:

“Marrsî” means “Thank you” in Northern Michif, the language of the Northern Métis peoples of Canada.

I always disliked how this meme pitted men against women when both would do what the meme claimed only one would do.
