The Réseau de Résistance du Québecois (RRQ) (English translation: Québecois Network of Resistance) is a militant Quebec nationalist organization, which is part of the Quebec sovereignty movement.
History
Created by young nationalists, the Réseau de Résistance du Québecois is a militant organization launched by the newspaper Le Québécois.[1]
Campaigns
In January 2008, the RRQ launched a campaign against Québec City’s 400th anniversary celebrations and accused the organizers of being revisionists.[2]
In January 2009, the Réseau de Résistance du Québecois launched a major campaign against the 250th anniversary reenactment of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, which ended the rule of France in New France and replaced it with the rule of the Kingdom of Great Britain. The RRQ played a major role in the cancellation of the reenactment.[3] A spokesperson for the group, retired Quebec filmmaker Pierre Falardeau stated that if the reenactment took place, "some people will get their asses kicked".[4] The RRQ said to visiting spectators that the reenactment would offer "a trip they won't soon forget".[4]
