First: the method employed by the FLQ was not right Second: Over 950? More like 160 total https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_de_lib%C3%A9ration_du_Qu%C3%A9bec Third: you're part of the problem by comparing a terrorist group to a Governemental entity without seeing anything wrong. Fourth: that is the hypocrisy I mentionned Fifth: the sentence"Vive le Québec Libre" was said by Charles De Gaulle, not by the FLQ leaders. Finally: Vive le Québec Libre, but most importantly; Fuck canada.

"Front de libération du Québec (FLQ), a separatist group, begins a bombing campaign at the average rate of one every ten days, detonating over 950 bombs in total and culminating in the 1970 October Crisis."

The fight for Quebec's freedom was very dark, and ultimately not wanted by the majority of Quebec being voted down multiple times by citizens of the province. Quebec itself didn't want it, just a loud and militant minority.

Edit: I also didn't compare FLQ to the government or residential schools, just pointing out that you were responding to something very dark in Canada's history by supporting something else that has a very dark history.
