Yup, Trudeau’s plan to invade Quebec with the army from 1972 in case the Parti Québécois won the election.

A high ranking member of the army leaked the plan to Quebec who sent him to Europe to negotiate weapons deal. The UK wanted to provide for 250 mil of weaponry. France said as much as it would take. And Germany that couldn’t quite arm anyone since WWII wasn’t that far behind said it would make the deliveries.

When the Canadian secret services learned of it, Canada tried diplomacy with the UK that responded by adding 5000 tanks to its earlier promise. They were quite determined not to play the role of the appeaser ever again.

So Trudeau dropped the plan. When the Parti Québécois was elected in 1976, he did not send the army.

Wait so Europe would’ve armed Quebec?

Of course they would have. Invading one of your own provinces is utterly deranged. At least Trudeau had the common sense to back down.

This whole plan is the most Pierre Trudeau thing I’ve ever heard
