The crisis peaked in October 1970 when the FLQ kidnapped British diplomat James Cross and Quebec cabinet minister Pierre Laporte, leading to widespread panic.

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.
