Born on September 6, 1926, in Saskatchewan, Canada, George Everett Klippert would move with his family to Calagry at a young age and would be raised in Alberta. He would become a bus driver in Edmonton, remembered as so friendly and kind that people would miss their bus if it meant getting on his instead. Many would be surprised by the turn his life would take. The last man in Canada to be imprisoned for being gay, Everett would change the shape of a nation through simply being openly himself at a time when any trace of queerness opened up the risk of legal punishment. 

To discuss the life of Jean-Baptiste L'Heureux is to take every account with a grain of salt. Beyond the fact that the man himself was a notorious liar and spent much of his life making up new backstories for himself, he was also a man with many enemies. Specifically, enemies within the Canadian government and various Christian institutions, as he spent just as much time making fools of them as anything else. The most reliable source to determine facts about his life and legacy would be the Blackfoot people. The reality is that the continued genocide against Indigenous peoples in Canada has wiped away much of the histories they kept. The stories that are still known are not among the most reliable sources, generally left on the accounts of religious authorities he offended and government officials he annoyed.
