Canadian War Crimes: Operation Brass Citizen (Part 1 of 3) Smoke Filled Rooms: True Political Crime
-
- True Crime
In the aftermath of the October Crisis, the Canadian government grappled with the precarious nature of its federation.
Only months earlier, the federal government had imposed martial law on the province of Quebec in order to destroy the murderous terrorism of the FLQ. A militant and nationalist Quebecois independence group that took hostages, waged a decade-long bombing campaign, and murdered Deputy Premier Pierre Laporte.
These events left Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau embattled, edgy, and newly illuminated on the subject of Machiavellian realpolitik and the need for decisive action to expand Canadian interests and national control.
And today, we're going to be talking about a little-known event that occurred in early 1971 spurred by a rogue military leader General O'Heart
The short-lived and depraved Canadian invasion of Greenland...
"Operation Brass Citizen"
Now, you might be asking yourself, "why on earth would Canada want to invade its peaceful neighbour Greenland?", “And why haven't I heard this before?”
Well sit back and enjoy Part 1 of this little-known deep dive into Canadian war crimes.
