Montréal's
Papineau subway station is named after the nearby
avenue Papineau which in turn is named after
Joseph Papineau, an early politician known for his advocacy of the interests of the Canadiens under British rule. The murals in the station, by Jean Cartier and George Juhasz, all deal with the 1837 rebellion against British rule led by his son
Louis-Joseph Papineau.
