Challenging the accepted narrative of an 1832 Montreal riot, this inquiry argues that the event never occurred and that British troops fired on civilians without provocation, resulting in three deaths. It presents affidavits from a grand jury that exonerated the soldiers involved, highlighting the jury's bias as it was predominantly English-speaking Protestant farmers, contrasting with the French Canadian Catholic victims. The author critiques historians for failing to question the official account, aiming to correct the historical record.
