Here is a link to the complete chronology of the October Crisis. http://www2.marianopolis.edu/quebechistory/chronos/october.htm
and a link to other documents http://www2.marianopolis.edu/quebechistory/docs/october/index.htm
What is not mentioned is that Paul Rose, convicted terrorist and murderer, received full parole and went on to be elected to public office, details here: http://www.mywiseowl.com/articles/Paul_Rose.
Although I believe that it would be impossible for a convicted murderer to hold public office in the US, it serves as an example of how distinct our society here really is, though others could also use it as an example to prove that people can be rehabilitated.
In Quebec today, Montreal in particular, most language tensions have all but dissappeared in day to day living. People tend to be functionally if not fluently bilingual for the most part and many of us carry on conversations switching from english to french without even realizing we are doing so. But on occassion some one makes a bonehead move, such as Best Buy stores sending out unilingual english flyers to announce their arrival in Quebec, which awakens the language gestapo known as the Office de la Langue Francais or OLF for short. This opens the old animosities again for a short time until some real news occurs. It also doesn't help when this happens on the 25th anniversary of the first referendum as it did this week. But no matter what your political beliefs may be, the one thing we tend to agree on is that Montreal, and Quebec, women are among the most beautiful and possibly the most sexually open women in the world. In that we truly are distinct.
