Mike, PD, or any other of you political interest devotees. Do you know anything about the October Crisis of 1970 in Montreal? It's an interesting study about the province of Quebec.
The reason I mention it is because I recently bought a copy of "Action: The October Crisis of 1970" from the National Film Board of Canada. I had seen it on television many years ago (it was actually made in 1973) but noticed it as available from the NFBC.
Now, I have read many books on francophone adversity/evolution in Canada and esp Quebec, but this one seems to drive it home for me. Maybe because it was made in the early seventies, and no producer or author's memory had been tainted by the media for 30+ years to tell a proper non-fictional account of October 1970.
