It was a movement in the 60's that involved a huge national terrorist group called the FLQ (Front de liberation du Quebec). They firmly believed that Quebec should separate from Canada, and become it's own, French-speaking country. The FLQ was responsible for over 200 bombings, stealing $50, 000, kidnapping the British Trade Commisioner, James Cross and for murdering the Quebec Labour Minister, Pierre Laporte. They also killed 5 other people in their bombings. Their attacks culminated with the October Crisis as well, and they're reign of terror went on until 1971. They used a clandestine cell system to operate, for example, they would have different groups of terrorists throughout Quebec and Canada, and that group would not act until told to do so by their leader or boss.
