jan 1, 1963 - 1963 - 1970: The nationalist group called Front
de libération du Québec was founded in 1963.
They terrorized the Anglophones of Quebec.
Description:
The group detonated over 95 bombs across Quebec. One bombing at the Montreal Stock Exchange on February 13, 1969, caused extensive damage and injured 27 people. Other targets included Montreal City Hall, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, armed forces, railway tracks, and army installations. FLQ members, in a strategic move, had stolen several tons of dynamite from military and industrial sites, and, financed by bank robberies, they threatened through their official communication organ, known as La Cognée, that more attacks were to come.
