Quebec's Pierre Laporte Kidnapped (1970)
The separatist Quebec Liberation Front's (FLQ) kidnapping of Pierre Laporte, Quebec's Vice-Premier and Minister of Labour, which began the October Crisis, led the Canadian government to assume sweeping emergency powers to combat the insurrection. Though the FLQ had carried out approximately 200 violent crimes since 1963, it was the October Crisis that provided the impetus for the government to search out and arrest a number of the group's members.

For those people who feel that the patriot Act is OVER THE TOP, perhaps you should look into the events of October 1970, in Canada ... the least oppressive, most tolerant, free, civil libertarian society any losercrat could imagine. Just check it out. In fact, be sure to look up IMAGES when doing the research - to see rather than simply read of the events.
Use Google and search for: FLQ, Pierre LaPorte, October Crisis and Canada and 1970.
Use same when searching for images.
Perspective. We all need it. Some of us have it, others are lacking it.
