Considering all the animosity towards quebec seperatism and seperatists towards anglophones in Quebec, I think people were kept relatively civil.

Yes it was terrorism. However, the FLQ's actions are still representative of a type of response to political debate. Albeit an extreme one. I agree that overall we are less confrontational most of the time. But my point is that Canadian's have have had their moments. Other examples that come to mind are the blockades that Native groups have erected in protest to some kind of dispute. The Oka crisis comes to mind. Even more recently, threats from the Mohawks (Ontario) about doing the same in response to armed CBSA officials have surfaced.
