Summary
| Description |
English: A Canadian postal drop box (where letter carriers pick up their mail for delivery) in downtown Montreal in the summer of 1971, displaying graffiti of a separatist nature: "FLQ oui" (FLQ yes), approximately nine months after Canada's 'October Crisis'. The Front de libération du Québec (Liberation Front of Quebec, abbreviated in French as FLQ), was a violent secessionist organization dedicated the national independence of the Province of Quebec.
In the late 1960s the FLQ conducted several bombings by depositing devices in mail boxes, which typically bore a regal Canadian Coat of Arms, and thus made their point by striking at Canadian and British symbols. In October 1970 the organization kidnapped a British trade official and then a Quebec politician, who was later killed by FLQ members, triggering Canada's October Crisis. Français : Une boîte de dépôt postal canadien (où les facteurs viennent ramasser leur courrier à livrer) au centre-ville de Montréal à l'été de 1971, affichant des graffitis à caractère séparatiste: «FLQ oui" (FLQ oui), environ neuf mois après la 'Crise d'Octobre' au Canada. Le Front de libération du Québec (abrégé comme FLQ), était une organisation violente sécessionniste consacrée à l'indépendance nationale de la province de Québec.
Fin des années 1960, le FLQ a mené plusieurs attaques à la bombe en déposant des engins explosifs dans les boîtes aux lettres, qui arboraient généralement les armoiries royales canadiennes, et donc visé les symboles canadiens et britanniques. En Octobre 1970 l'organisation a kidnappé un agent de commerce britannique et puis un politicien québécois, qui a été tué plus tard par des membres du FLQ, provoquant le déclenchement de la Crise d'Octobre du Canada. |
