	Front de Libération du Québec
		The Front de liberation du Quebec (FLQ) was a terrorist group founded in the 1960s and based primarily in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
		The FLQ was virtually an unknown group of young French Canadians, whose occasional declarations called for a Marxist/anarchist insurrection, the overthrow of the Quebec Government, the separation of Quebec from Canada and the establishment of a workers' society.
		Buoyed by the support for Quebec independence from Canada by President Charles de Gaulle of France, (see article) the planning for a revolution escalated and new members were recruited.

	All about Quebec
		Quebec is Canada's oldest Province and was originally settled by the French, who we remember were the first European settlers to arrive on the continent.
		Unfortunately, Quebec was colonized during the dying days of the French monarchy and as a result early Quebec society was shaped according to that regime's values and ideals.
		Many think the threat of Quebec separation is largely exaggerated, or a mere political scam on the part of Quebec to constantly remain the primary focus of the Federal Government.

		In 1971, the Front de Liberation du Quebec terrorist group may have been finished as a force, but the Parti Quebecois was poised to channel the force of national independence into a democratically elected government.
		In 1971, Quebec City's junior hockey club, the Remparts, made it to what was then the eastern Canadian championship leading to the Memorial Cup final with a team from the Western Hockey League.
		Quebec junior hockey, changing with the times, is now more about the corporate rather than the political world.

		Quebec Sovereignism seeks independence from Canada for the province of Quebec.
		The Front de Liberation du Quebec was a terrorist organization in the 1960s and early 1970s that used violence to promote independence for Quebec.
		The expression "Royaume du Saguenay" or "Saguenay kingdom" came from the decree of the King of France that the area drained by the Saguenay would remain his personal domain, and that new settlement would not be authorized.

	Front de libÃ©ration du QuÃ©bec
		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.

	Le Front de Libération du Québec
		The moment of birth of the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) was not accidental: it arrived at a moment of political awakening in both Quebec and the colonized world in general.
		This internal liberation from decades-long constraints, combined with the influence of liberation struggles in the Third World, established an atmosphere in which a group like the FLQ could come into existence.
		In April 1963 a bomb planted in a Canadian Army recruiting office in the eastern Quebec city of Sherbrooke resulted in the death of a night watchman, which led to the arrest of 23 early FLQ members.

	Manifesto of the FLQ (1970) - Quebec History
		The Front de liberation du Québec is not a messiah, nor a modern-day Robin Hood.
		The Front de liberation du Québec wants the total independence of all Québécois, united in a free society, purged forever of the clique of voracious sharks, the patronizing "big bosses" and their henchmen who have made Québec their hunting preserve for "cheap labour" and unscrupulous exploitation.
		The Front de liberation du Québec is not a movement of aggression, but is a response to the aggression organized by high finance and the puppet governments in Ottawa and Québec (the Brinks "show," Bill 63, the electoral map, the so-called social progress tax, Power Corporation, "Doctors' insurance," the Lapalme guys...)

	Lessons of the 1972 Quebec General Strike
		In Quebec, workers were increasingly driven into the arms of their own francophone capitalists, leading to the election, with significant labour support, of the bourgeois-nationalist Parti Québécois four years later.
		While Quebec labour is today battling against yet another right-wing Liberal government, under Jean Charest, the PQ has shown during its repeated terms in office that it is equally a class enemy of the workers.
		But the ideas of the nationalist Quebec labour tops, for all their manifestos on “socialism,” led not to the “dictatorship of the proletariat” but to the rule of the nationalist union-busting PQ, who were swept to victory in 1976 and again in 1981 with a significant labour vote.

		The Canadian Government fulfilled the FLQ's conditions that the FLQ manifest be broadcasted across Canada and that the kidnappers be granted safe passage out of the country, and Cross was released in December.
		The reason for this is that many of those who had been in favor of sovereignty felt ashamed to be associated with the same movement as the FLQ, and thus their feelings of secession diminished.

	Log Cabin Chronicles Ricky Blue's Quebec is becoming bilingual column
		It means that when the government of Quebec uses the phrase 'The Majority' to excuse one of its constitutionally-challenged laws, it now has to take into consideration that, in Montreal, 'The Majority' is bilingual.
		Montreal may have lost much of its economic power as so many of the head offices fled the Quebec nationalist regime of the last thirty years: First there was the FLQ (Front de Liberation du Québec); and then there was the other FLQ (Folks who Left Quebec).
		And if this trend keeps up, the future of Quebec will be just like Reed Scowen once predicted: that if we were to believe both sides of the language debate, eventually there will be no English-speaking people left in Quebec and everyone in Quebec will be speaking English.
