Sir John A. Macdonald viewed Louis Riel as a significant threat to Canadian unity and governance. He considered Riel's leadership of the Métis and his role in the Red River and Northwest Rebellions as challenges to federal authority. Macdonald's perspective was shaped by his desire to assert control over the western territories and integrate them into Canada, leading to Riel's eventual trial and execution in 1885. Overall, Macdonald's attitude was marked by a combination of political pragmatism and a lack of understanding of Métis grievances.
