Trudeau, the FLQ and the War Measures Act The October Crisis 1970 Trudeau, the FLQ and the War Measures Act

Front de Liberation de Quebec The FLQ was a socialist and French-Canadian nationalist revolutionary organization Its goal was to destroy English influence in Quebec and make Quebec independent

Advocating a violent communist revolution in Canada.

Detonated over 200 bombs

The FLQ kidnap British diplomat James Cross on Oct.5, 1970 After kidnapping James Cross in Montreal, the FLQ leaders broadcast their manifesto and demand that the Federal gov’t release FLQ prisoners and provide payment by Oct. 7, 8

RELEASE THE POLITICAL PRISONERS FLQ demands RELEASE THE POLITICAL PRISONERS 3 Convicted Murderers 5 charged with manslaughter 1 Terrorist Bomber Numerous armed robbers Charges on 6 more men dropped MONEY 500,000$ in Gold Bars

FLQ demands are not met. Quebec Labor Minister Pierre Laporte is kidnapped on Oct. 10

Trudeau doesn’t listen to FLQ demands, but invokes the War Measures Act on Oct. 16 An angry and determined Trudeau imposes a state of emergency, suspending civil liberties, arresting suspected FLQ members It is now illegal to belong to or be associated with the FLQ

War measures act Government decides what is against the law. Government can override/suspend certain rights and freedoms Only supposed to be used during large wars

Soldiers patrolling the streets of Montreal- The War Measures Act in effect Many Quebec nationalists who were peaceful were arrested under the suspicion that they could be terrorist. Created a distrust and a division in Quebec those who supported the Government.

The Body of Pierre Laporte is found on Oct. 17 The Labor Minister’s body is found in the trunk of an abandoned car

The aftermath Dec. 3, 1970- James Cross freed by police Dec.4- many FLQ members and leaders are given asylum in Cuba Jan.4, 1971- the last federal troops leave Quebec Jan-Mar. 1971- those directly responsible for Laporte’s death are sentenced to life in prison Separatists in Quebec now look for a political rather than a violent solution to independence

3 Questions Is there another option besides violent revolution for the Quebec people to separate from Canada? If so what? If you were a leader of Canada how would you appease the Quebec people? How would you handle the situation as PM?

Assignment Create a timeline of Quebec history. Have 10 items starting in (1763 – present) Explain what happens for each event with a description. Use your own words. Include at least four pictures (drawn or printed) Have a title and your name. Use color and make it look pretty
