Description

Forty years ago, in October 1970, Robert Bourassa's provincial government refused to exchange twenty-three FLQ terrorists for political hostages. By the evening of 15 October, 3000 outraged Quebecers appeared poised to riot. Fearing insurrection, the federal government implemented the War Measures Act and jailed 497 people.
