Quebec: October 1970
This post marks the 39th anniversary of the 1970 October Crisis—a defining chapter in Canadian political history. It revisits the fear, tension, and national shock caused by the FLQ’s actions and the government’s unprecedented invocation of the War Measures Act. With video retrospectives and personal commentary, the post explores the impact of the crisis on civil liberties, Quebec nationalism, and federal authority. It’s both a reflection on historical trauma and a reminder of how moments of emergency can test the balance between freedom and order.
