FLQ
or
Pierre Laporte, James Cross

The FLQ created a national crisis in Canada by capturing James Cross and capturing and killing Pierre Laporte. This period, referred to as Black October represented one of the darkest periods in the Quebec/Canada relationship and forever changed the way that Canadians viewed themselves. Here is a link to the FLQ manifesto and another delineating the role that Jean Chretien played in the unfolding crisis back in 1970.
