Last Updated Friday, February 14, 2020 9:48AM EST— Marc Lalonde, former Liberal Cabinet Minister
The pace of change was not fast enough for a small radical element in Quebec. It wanted nothing less than an independent, socialist Quebec. Today, Lalonde is the only Canadian left who can tell the story of the FLQ crisis from inside the Prime Minister’s Office. When I reached out to him to share his account of the impact of the Front de Liberation du Quebec, Lalonde agreed immediately.
And that month the terror campaign claimed its first victim, a security guard killed by a bomb. A few weeks later, a bomb disposal expert was seriously maimed trying to defuse one of 10 bombs planted in mailboxes in Westmount. The Act, first passed at the beginning of the First World War, gave the government unprecedented powers in peacetime. Within days, almost 500 people were arrested.
This is irrelevant at the moment..... just like Justin's sexyness we have a viral infection that's spreading in the country and the news is lying and hiding stuff ...if you sat in front of a TV for hours a day for long periods of time then you would know
Just had to remind us of the other feckless leader we had. Father like son they just want to wreck this country!
That was compelling, thank you.
There are some cruel people in the world; like the prankster who told Pierre's dumb kid that the stupid bugger would make a good Prime Minister.
I remember that
I remember the crisis well. I was only 12 years old.
Now we have his slack-jawed, mongrel ‘son’ as leader and chief recruiter/enabler of terrorists within Canada. Trudeau is the terrorist.
This would have prevented so many problems....
And to continue the saga - Justin Trudeau is “importing” ISIS terrorists to roam Canada freely and use our social services to live comfortably while avoiding Justice and planning attacks here...Trudeau’s like terrorism
And his son has brought the threat in with a handshake and a bow along with uncontrolled immigrants from the Middle East, funded terrorists & sharia law. .Full circle it seems. This is really your headline ?! Really ?
How ironic. Canada is once again under terrorist threat under Pierre's son. (Or is it Fidel's son?)
My father was in the Canadian Grenadier Guards then, he was 18 when he got a call to show up at the armoury. He remembers very well of then..
You setting the stage for Trudeau 2.0 to invoke the war measures act? Could you be anymore obvious?
See that may be PM Abject Failure's end game. Let us go to war with each other. And enact Martial law, like his single digit approval rating daddy did.
And you decided to bring this up now. Why?
I remember that...50 years ago.
Same as indians today!
FN protestors are not terrorists. Stop with this nonsense.
We're still under terrorist threat for as long as Daddy Pierre's dummy son is still in power.

HuffPost is now a part of Verizon MediaWhen law is in opposition to rights, why ought it be 'respected'? This guy says Laws must be respected...the guy who attempted to interefere in the RuleofLaw by trying to have the PPSC reverse a decision not to grant a company facing corruption charges, a DPA. His words have absolutely no weight when it comes to Rule of Law Canada cdnpoli acoyne How about obeyed and enforced?
