The Front de Liberation du Quebec was a separatist paramilitary group that was seeking independence of Quebec, it was a militant part of the Quebec sovereignty. The group faced much resistance from the Canadian people and also the government as it was separating the country. There are various ways in which the group faced the resistance from its goal and also it got to react to the changes. Since the second war, most of the nations have broken the chains of slavery and oppression from their colonizers and now they live independently. Canada was one of the countries yet to enjoy the fruits of independence. Another movement that came up was Comite deliberation that preached violence as a way to attain political ends (DUERR, 2018).

Some of the people that were against the movements started peaceful protest among the groups as a way of ending the crisis that was happening in Canada. The government was trying to end the group strength but they faced many problems as there were some of the other groups that were formed in order to strengthen FLQ power. The groups such as ALQ and ARQ supported the movement of FLQ by providing them with guns and money. They tried to convince people that they were political, socially and also economically colonized. They also claimed that the colonist government was still controlling Ottawa in form of foreign trade, economy, defence, immigration among others.
