FLQ Crisis

On 5th October 1970, England 's cross - commissioner James Cross was abducted by a member of the Quebec Liberation Organization, a terrorist organization at the West Mount' s house. The FLQ declaration calls for undemocratic separation by terrorist acts. By 1963 to 1967, FLQ planted 35 bombs; from 1968 to 1970, they planted more than 50 bombs. By the fall of 1970, the terrorist acts of the FLQ cell robbed the lives of six people. Requests of kidnappers include the release of some FLQ members convicted or detained and the FLQ declaration.

The FLQ crisis was the name of a brutal incident that occurred in October 1970. On October 5, James Cross British consul was kidnapped by FLQ and became a hostage. Some of the requirements include the withdrawal of members of the police search group, release of all FLQ members (if arrested), gold $ 500,000, the name of the police information provider who announced terrorist activities, and in exchange for g Safe action loss against Cuba was sought for the release of Ross. With Quebec's prime minister, Robert Bratza, who encouraged the resolution of the crisis as soon as possible, Tor took the "War Countermeasures Act" on 16th October. This gives military power and citizens lose their rights. FLQ kidnapped Pierre LaPort Labor Minister on October 10 and responded to Trudeau's actions. Five days after the tension, LaPort was found dead in the trunk of the car. On December 2, 1970, James Cross turned out to be injured.

The first critical test of Trudeau occurred during the crisis of October 1970 when the Marxist organization Quebec Liberation Front (FLQ) kidnapped the British trade consul James Cross in his dwelling on 5 October. Five days later, Quebec Labor Minister Pierre LaPort was also kidnapped. . In the tacit understanding of Prime Minister Robert Blasa of Quebec, Trudeau responded by calling war countermeasure law which gave the government extensive arrest and suspicious detention. Trudeau expressed a firm public opinion during the crisis and answered "just look at me" to the question of how much to stop violence. Laporte was found dead in the trunk of the car on 17th October. His cause of death is controversial. In 1970, five FLQ members flew to Cuba as part of a contract to exchange James Cross' s life.
