In April 2009, Munirudeen Adekunle Muse advised President Umaru Yar'Adua to emulate the Lagos State governor, Babatunde Fashola, whom he described as a model of serious, people-oriented governance. He contrasted this with the mediocre performance of the Yar'Adua administration in its first two years. In May 2009, This Day published a mid-term rating of senators. The newspaper rated Munirudeen Muse "average" on the basis that although he had not sponsored any motions, he had been very effective in his Local Government committee. In October 2009, Yar'Adua named Muse as a member of the Federal Delegation for the 2009 Hajj, led by Senator Mahmud Kanti Bello.

Norris was a founder and the first vice-president of the first Alberta Métis organization (1932) called the Association des Métis d’Alberta et des Territories du Nord-Ouest (Alberta Métis Association). In 1964, he headed the Métis Association of Northern Saskatchewan. *Louis Riel, Métis leader who led the Red River Rebellion in 1869 - 1870, the provisional government of Rupert's Land, Manitoba's entry into Confederation in 1870; later led the North-West Rebellion in 1885Reasonable doubts may be raised about whether either of these events was a rebellion. For example, the actions considered rebellious in 1869 were undertaken by Riel as the leader of a government recognized by Canada as in legitimate control of territory that did not belong to Canada; Canada negotiated the Manitoba Act with this government. After these "rebellions", land speculators and other non-Métis effectively deprived the Métis of land by exploiting a government program for its purchase, with the government perhaps turning a blind eye. The province of Alberta distributed land to Métis in 1938 to correct what it believed to be an inequity, but Saskatchewan and Manitoba have not followed Alberta's lead. Riel was elected three times to the House of Commons for Provencher riding; first, in the general election of 1873, the government subsequently resigned over the Pacific Scandal in November 1873. Riel was reelected in February 1874, then expelled, then ran in the subsequent by-election, was reelected and expelled again.http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/riel_louis_1844_85_11E.html *Louis Schmidt, Métis politician, Riel's Secretary and, in their youth, Riel's classmate. Born in 1844 he was known as Louis Laferté until Bishop Taché changed it in 1858. Louis Schmidt made the first of numerous petitions on behalf of the Métis' to the federal government over rights to their lands and their call for proper political representation.
