> So the feds did get busted planting bombs to blame it on some terror organization. Just, not right away. That kinda makes what happened before they got busted suspicious doesn't it.
Not really, unless you're the sort of person who believes that, say, the FBI's fake terror plots in the wake of 9/11 are proof that Bush did 9/11. Which you might be, I guess.
> Weren’t they famously not even able to rule out a suicide and convict someone not even in the room when he died?
No, it was certainly not a suicide; there's some who think that it might've been an accident instead of a deliberate murder, but there's little case for that. Paul Rose was one of the terrorists convicted of murder and there's some question of whether he was actually present when he died (a government report ten years after the fact believes that he wasn't; a recorded confession from a wiretapped conversation suggests he was), but there's ultimately no question that known Québécois separatist terrorists were responsible for the kidnapping and death. The FLQ took responsibility for the kidnapping and made demands for his safe return; several of the convicted, to their death beds, refused to repent for their actions.
In order to believe that this was some kind of False Flag, you'd have to imagine that people were willing to pretend to be terrorists, ardently support a cause in the public eye for the better part of decade, go to prison for several years, and maintain the act for their rest of their lives, so that...Trudeau could invoke the War Measures act for a brief period of time.
> Wow so there was not even a constitution to suspend? And didn't like, a third of the population just not sign it? Honestly the more I hear about it the more it sounds surreal. I don’t think this would fly in America.
Well, no, it wouldn't fly in America, because (this is a bugbear of mine) Canada is a different country than America, with different laws, values, systems of government, and, yes, constitutional rights, which Canada did not even have at the time. The Canadian system of government was modelled after the UK, and the UK still doesn't have any notion of constitutional rights - nor do most other countries, even first-world democratic nations like Australia or New Zealand. Canada continues to have a Queen, which also wouldn't fly in America.
I'm not sure what you mean by "a third of the population [didn't] sign it". They didn't go door-to-door and ask everyone if they wanted to sign up for constitutional rights. Quebec hasn't endorsed the Canada Act, but that very well may have nothing to do with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that's a part of it; it very well may just be an attempt to stonewall the federal government or fight its legitimacy if they feel it's needed. Quebec's relationship to the rest of Canada is complicated, as the phrase "Québécois separatist terrorists" might imply.
