> ( some sort of senior politician kidnapping ) and what it was used for in peace time ( forcibly dismantling a protest ).

The state media and government tried to pin mailbox bombings and an instance of kidnapping to this group called the FLQ until an RCMP agent was caught literally red-handed (with severe burns and a torn off finger) planting bombs in a mailbox to pin it on the "FLQ"! [0] The feds then confessed to more than 400 illegal search and seizures, criminal trespass, breaking and entering and arson incidents and the bomb planter admitted he “had done much worse for the feds” (all of these incidents that were used to invoke the constitution's suspension!).

Who was prime minister during that time? You guessed it, Justin Trudeau’s father. What a coincidence.
