Why did Prime Minister Trudeau invoke the War Measures Act?
PM Trudeau invoke the War Measures act in October 1970 to stop "apprehended insurrection", a term he coined to describe a hostile takeover of government. This was during the October Crisis led by the FLQ (front de Liberation du Quebec), after they kidnapped two government officials, one being killed. At first, the people of Montreal were glad that the army came in to save them from the FLQ, who had been putting bombs in the mailboxes of government buildings, as well as robbing banks to finance their operations, but when police arrested over 400 people, most of whom were innocent citizens, people began to question whether the so-called "apprehended insurrection" had been planned by the FLQ, or whether it was even possible. PM Trudeau did not apologize for his actions, claiming he had stopped political terrorism.
