I assume you are talking about the kidnapping of Laporte by separatists, his subsequent murder, and the enacting of the war measures act while they were looking for him. It has been admitted many times that it was an over reaction, and I can think of dozens of examples that were worse abuses. Off the top of my head how about Boston in the aftermath of the "bombing?"
There was good that came from it. It was a catalyst for discussion, led to the quiet revolution, and has helped to define French politics here in Quebec strangely enough.
People speak French here because it was originally settled by France. Canada used to be divided onto upper and lower, English and French. Wars were fought.
Maybe I'm missing the point. What do you mean?
Je ne savais pas que vous parler français. C'est fun d'avoir plus de monde ici qui le parle. Or do your just live in a french town?
