The Quebec Liberation Front, abbreviated as the FLQ Crisis, (known as the October Crisis) was created in 1963. The leader of this group is Paul Rose. FLQ was considered the second worst attack, as they killed 8 people and were responsible for around 200 bombs and robberies in Quebec. At the time of the Quiet Revolution, which began between 1960 and 1970, a group of people wanted Quebec to have independence, so they used violence to tell the government. FLQ's goal was to separate Quebec from Canada and erase all British cultures. FLQ believed that Canada was once owned by the French. The group began detonating bombs and killed 8 people in total and injured over 100 people. They were responsible for over 200 attacks. Say no to plagiarism.

Get an original essay James Richard Cross, a British Trade Commissioner, was kidnapped by 4 members of the FLQ Crisis on October 5, 1970. James Cross was at home when the kidnapping occurred and the FLQ disguised themselves as delivery boys. The FLQ sent a ransom note to the federal government, Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, telling him that he should release all the FLQ prisoners, broadcast their manifesto on the radio, give them plane tickets to take the prisoners to Cuba or in Algeria, give them $500,000 in gold and other commands in exchange for James Cross. Prime Minister Trudeau announced the manifesto over CBC Radio, but refused to release the prisoners. He said, in an interview with a reporter: "All I can say is, go ahead and bleed. But it's more important to maintain law and order in this society than to worry about weak-kneed people." His most famous line was said at the end of an interview with a journalist; "Look at me." On October 10, FLQ also kidnapped the provincial minister of Labrador, Pierre Laporte, in his home. FLQ demanded that they should get what they needed or they would assassinate Laporte.
