Je suis un enseignant d'histoire Canadien, et je ne suis pas en mesure de confirmer le 'massacre' qui a été mentionné (mais je suis anglophone, peut-être quelque chose a été perdu dans le traduction), mais il y a un bonne livre appelé 'Louis Riel: a Comic Strip Biography' qui est sur la vie de Louis Riel. C'est vraiment intéressant. De toute façon, il y a beaucoup des passages qui confirme ça que /u/Akesgeroth dit de les politiques de 19ème siècle qui ont exclure les francophones dans les nouveau provinces dans l'ouest (et dans le case de ce livre, Manitoba en particulier). À l'époque, les politiciens ont vraiment peur d'un 'Québec de l'Ouest', et ils ont fait tout son possible pour l'éviter. Si tu est intéressé d'histoire Canadien, ce livre est un bon endroit pour commencer.
the louis riel comic book is good:

one of the most amazing men who ever lived. truly a tragedy on many levels. shakespearean, mythic stuff. he needs a hollywood blockbuster treatment. more should know his name and his story
If you're interested in Riel, I recommend this incredible "comic strip biography" of him.
Off the top of my head there's a reasonable amount of stuff like this, you won't necessarily find anything quite like Hamilton because we don't venerate our "founding fathers" to anywhere close to the same degree as american's.
If you don't mind a textbook, the Origins and Destinies pair of books is very readable, reasonably concise, and covers a lot of history your teachers never had the time to mention in class.
Since it's history, and a textbook, you can probably find a very cheap earlier edition without sacrificing quality.
Unfortunately, I've never found much in the way of good books covering Canadian history that weren't textbooks of some variety. There is, however, a good graphic novel called Louis Riel which tells the story of the Metis rebel leader in good detail and is available in many libraries. Worth reading.
