	Front de libération du Québec
		Front de libération du Québec (FLQ), a revolutionary movement that used propaganda and TERRORISM to promote the emergence of an independent, socialist Québec.
		The movement was founded in March 1963, when Québec was undergoing a period of remarkable change (industrial expansion, modernization of the state), but it was also stimulated by international factors such as the decolonization of Algeria.
		In the fall of 1969, the movement split into 2 distinct cells: the south shore gang (which became the Chenier cell) led by Paul Rose, and the liberation cell, under Jacques Lanctôt.

		In 1970 le front de libération du Québec, the FLQ, kidnapped a British diplomat and a Québec cabinet minister and murdered the cabinet minister, Pierre Laporte when the federal government invoked the draconian War Measures Act lifting all civil rights in Canada.
		It is "a process of cultural, political, or existential fragmentation and/or crisis, the `de-centring' of the subject, an `incredulity towards metanarratives', the replacement of unitary power axes by a plurality of power/discourse formations, the `implosion of meaning'." [Dick Hebdige, Hiding in the Light, London, Routledge, 1988, p.

	War Measures Act
		The only use of the War Measures Act in a domestic crisis occurred in October and November 1970, when a state of "apprehended insurrection" was declared to exist in Québec and emergency regulations were proclaimed in response to 2 kidnappings by the terrorist FRONT DE LIBÉRATION DU QUÉBEC (see OCTOBER CRISIS).
		War Measures Act, statute (1914) conferring emergency powers on the federal Cabinet, allowing it to govern by decree when it perceives the existence of "war, invasion or insurrection, real or apprehended."

	The October Crisis
		One such group was the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) who was committed to the independence of Quebec.
		In October 1970, the terrorist group FLQ kidnapped two public officials, an act that shocked Quebec and much of the nation given the widespread belief that Canada was the 'peaceable kingdom.' Terrorism was something that Canadians read about in newspapers; it was not supposed to occur in Canada, but the FLQ changed all that.
		While the vast majority worked within the legitimate democratic process, both to change the nature of Quebec society and to ensure the greater participation of French-speaking citizens in all aspects of life, a small minority insisted on armed insurrection.

	Raymond Villeneuve

		Villeneuve insists that the MLNQ has never made any direct, specific death threats against any particular individuals.
		Villeneuve, the youngest of his comrades at age 19, received the heaviest sentence--12 years--for orchestrating the entire affair.

	The Canadian Jewish Community and the Politics of Quebec Independence - Jack Silverstone
		The Quebec independence movement did flirt with urban violence in the late 1960s, when cells of the FLQ (Front de LIbération du Québec) embarked on a spree of bombings and kidnappings which resulted in fatalities, injuries, rioting, and a form of martial law.
		In Quebec, as part of the ongoing governmental initiatives to ensure the primacy of the French language, there are laws and regulations concerning the use of French and controls on the use of other languages, including English, in the public domain.
		Nevertheless, the distorting effect of Quebec politics on the rest of the Jewish agenda in Canada is significant.

	ESR April 11, 2005 The two true faces of North American liberalism
		Canada's former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, a big admirer of Fidel Castro, tried getting tough with the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) terrorist group during the infamous Black October of 1970.
		The Government of Quebec had more than enough expertise and equipment to ferret out terrorist kidnappers Bernard Lortie, the brothers Paul and Jacques Rose, and Francis Simard, but, in typically liberal intemperateness, Trudeau, with his famous words, "Just watch me!," brought the federal fist down.
		Trudeau instituted the War Measures Act in an overreaction to a miserable little Communist cabal in Montreal.

		When the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) kidnapped James Cross and Pierre Laporte, Tetley was a minister in Robert Bourassa's provincial cabinet.
		FLQ!" the National Assembly invoked the War Measures Act, which effectively suspended civil rights in Quebec.
		Once the FLQ did that, any sympathy for their aims was replaced by revulsion for the October 17 murder that Tetley calls "senseless, cruel and evil." The act was universally condemned.

		It is ironic that Quebec stands out in the Canadian context as an example of progressive education for religious minority private school systems.
		The Quebec government (as is the case with all Canadian provinces) has constitutional responsibility for education.
