by contrast, french canadian speakers and sympathizers have emphasized scott's problematic behaviour, as mentioned above. it was stated by historian lyle dick that the martyrdom of scott created a "rallying symbol" for expansionists who wanted the armed force be sent to the northwest. this fostered higher recruitment rates for the red river expedition and hastened its dispatch. upon learning about scott's death, the canadian government dispatched the wolseley expedition to fort garry from ontario to seize the fort and force louis riel, now branded a murderer, to flee the settlement. scott's religious affiliation to the orange order had repercussions in ontario as well. the toronto globe had published an article that stated, scott was cruelly murdered by the enemies of the queen, country and religion.
