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.

What was the pros and cons of doing island hopping strategy in World War 2 Why didn't you just go straight for Tokyo?

island hopping allowed the US to establish a base of operations for our planes. once we controlled the local skies, we could establish safe harbors, supply depots for the ships, refueling centers, and local hospitals.

You must remember that the Pacific Fleet had been damaged at Pearl Harbor on 12/7/41 so running straight to Tokyo was not an option. (Although in early 1942 Colonel Dolittle made a daring raid on Tokyo with a squadron of B-17 aircraft ) So, ships were dear, and planes could not make it that far during this time.

Island hopping became the safest way to penetrate enemy territory, take it back into the hands of the Allies, and continue to work our way towards the Japanese homeland.
