The letter, which is signed: "FLQ, Camille-Laurin Cell," is the second of its kind. The first one was received on Nov. 15, 2006.
Camille Laurin was a Parti Qu�b�cois cabinet minister responsible for the province's language law in the 1970s.

I think this would be a little like a militant Maoist group, threatening mass violence, and referring to itself as "the Mike Harcourt cell". |

No doubt a recent funding from an international terrorist funding charity.

Trudeau: Yes, well there are a lot of bleeding hearts around who just don't like to see people with helmets and guns. All I can say is, go on and bleed, but it is more important to keep law and order in the society than to be worried about weak-kneed people who don't like the looks of ...
Ralfe: At any cost? How far would you go with that? How far would you extend that?
Trudeau: Well, just watch me. |

You know French Canadians are a lot of talk. These pepsis get hammered, talk about revolution, and then wake up and stumble to their jobs the next day. One should take any threat as real, but it wouldn't surprise me if these are just a bunch of pepsis hepped on the lame revolution the real FLQ tried to touch off.
You can't have a revolution when people have good jobs to go to every day. You can't have a revolution when people have homes and mortgages. |

If I had to put my money on it, the "New FLQ" is probably just the work of some university students out to stir the pot. They're no doubt getting a good laugh...
There is no real requisite social context for a real revolution in Quebec these days. It's not like it was before when you had real unemployment compounded by genuine, widespread sense of being controlled by outsiders.
You don't bring in the army if you don't think the revolution has any potential substance or some kind of legitimate basis... that basis is hardly there anymore... |

Yeah, I can hardly wait to read the New FLQ's manifesto...

Right...Never heard of Louis Riel, Beausoleil Broussard (one of my ancestors barely escaped the hangman's noose for having been captured while fighting alongside him), or Louis-Joseph Papineau? |

Given that separatism is essentially a lost cause, I'd say you're right to say it's an attempt by a few naive university students to stir the pot in the hopes of drumming up sentiments of Quebec nationalism. |
