Best Answer

A mentally unstable religious fanatic, who thought that God was directing his actions. He was thrown out of a Roman Catholic semminary, in Quebec, because of his disruptive behaviour, and refusal to obey orders.

He wanted to be the leader of a new country, that he called Asinaboya, in Manitoba. He encouraged the natives and fur trappers to rebel and attack settlers. This resulted in a small war that saw him flee to the USA, for 15 years.

He later came back in 1885 and tried the same thing again, and this time he wasa captured, and tried in a court, and convicted of treason and muder , and sentenced to death. He was hanged in Regina.
