The War Measures Act Put Into Action



On October fifteenth, the Army was invited into Quebec to help the local police. On October 16, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau initiated the War Measures Act. This Act limits the freedom of Canadians during war, invasion or insurrection [5]. The Act was used in Quebec during the October Crisis when a state of insurrection occurred. One day later, the body of Pierre Laporte was found dead, in the trunk of a car at an airport in St-Hubert.
