The Front de liberation du Québec is a revolutionary movement of volunteers
ready to die for the political and economic independence of Quebec. The suicide-commandos of the FLQ have as their principal mission the
complete destruction, by systematic sabotage of: all colonial [federal]
symbols and institutions, in particular the RCMP and the armed forces; … all
commercial establishments and enterprises which practise
discrimination against Quebeckers, which do not use French as the first language, which advertises in the
colonial language [English]; [and] all plants and factories which discriminate
against French-speaking workers. … INDEPENDENCE OR DEATH.

The Roots of Québec Nationalism: The Duplessis Era (1936-39, 1944-59)
• Premier Maurice Duplessis & the Union Nationale• Quebec as a distinct nation rather
than just another province• Introduction of the fleur-de-lis flag• Catholic church defended Quebec
culture “farm, faith, family”
• Bribery and corruption rampant• Businesses gave “kickbacks” in
return for jobs and licences
• Union activity discouraged or banned
