S2E1: Quebexit

October 09, 2018

In this episode, Jeff and Bryan tell a story about the FLQ, a “terrorist” group active in la Belle Province—Quebec—during the 1960s and early 1970s. The crisis the FLQ created reached a climax in October 1970 with two abductions and a murder. This story has it all: Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau—Justin Trudeau’s more charismatic father—daring reporters, Canadian soldiers being deployed on civilian streets, people being stripped of basic human rights, interference by the KGB, and rumors of a CIA false flag operation!
