With the anniversary of the October Crisis I have been seeing quite a few articles about the sovereigntists that seem to have made the FLQ into martyrs (they did at the time too it seems) and seek to rewrite the narrative of the October Crisis. Akin to how Lost Causers in the US have rewritten the narrative of the civil war from slavery to "state's rights" and Southern pride they want to change the narrative of the October Crisis from terrorism to anti-francophone discrimination and Quebecois "pride". I think it is quite dangerous to glorify and attempt to justify the terroristic actions of the FLQ. No politician in Canada should be apologizing for the October Crisis.
This opinion piece even has links to politicians showing their support for this glorification at a movie premiere for a documentary that espouses this sovereigntist lost cause ideology. In a sane world they should be forced to resign.
