Which controversial Act was put into force in October 1970 and why?
The War Measures Act was invoked in Canada in October 1970. Quebec nationalists and FLQ members kidnapped British diplomat James Cross and Quebec provincial cabinet minister Pierre Laporte, who was later murdered. What is now referred to as the October Crisis raised fears in Canada of a militant terrorist faction rising up against the government. At the request of the Mayor of Montreal, Jean Drapeau, and the government of the Province of Quebec, and in response to general threats and demands made by the FLQ, the federal Liberal government of Pierre Trudeau invoked the act. He did this so police had more power in arrest and detention, so they could find and stop the FLQ members. There was a large amount of concern about the act being invoked as it was a direct threat to civil liberties.
Why did Prime Minister Trudeau invoke the War Measures Act?
PM Trudeau invoke the War Measures act in October 1970 to stop "apprehended insurrection", a term he coined to describe a hostile takeover of government. This was during the October Crisis led by the FLQ (front de Liberation du Quebec), after they kidnapped two government officials, one being killed. At first, the people of Montreal were glad that the army came in to save them from the FLQ, who had been putting bombs in the mailboxes of government buildings, as well as robbing banks to finance their operations, but when police arrested over 400 people, most of whom were innocent citizens, people began to question whether the so-called "apprehended insurrection" had been planned by the FLQ, or whether it was even possible. PM Trudeau did not apologize for his actions, claiming he had stopped political terrorism.
