Front Libre de Trois-Rivières

 * Backstory: 
 * All Hail the Lord Protector: It has been 23 years since a group of officers of the Canadian Army launched a coup d'état that deposed the elected government and brought the National Socialist Labour Party to power. The party's leader, Harold Howard, has been ruling Canada with an iron fist ever since. Howard and his henchmen instituted a cult of personality, glorifying the all-wise, all-powerful father of the fatherland Lord Protector Howard. Giant statues of the Lord Protector have been erected in every city, town and village. Every passer-by has to bow before the statue. Everyone who neglects to bow before the statue will be tracked down and sent to one of the State of Canada's infamous concentration in the north. The same goes for any vile person who dares to question the actions of the government. The Howard regime has been vigorously persecuting sub-human beings such as Jews and First Nations, especially the Metis. By now it is believed that at least three-quarters of the Jews and 85% of the Metis have been exterminated.
 * Uprising: It has been 23 years since the light of democracy was extinguished all over Canada, including Quebec. Even though the Howard regime has been eager to respect the unique status of Quebec, discontent about the regime has always been high. The government, however, did not see this discontent as a serious threat, as Howard and his henchmen knew that that the Quebecois would not dare to make their discontent audible. After all, everyone who would dare to say anything bad about the regime would disappear and would never be heard of again. However, the regime seriously underestimated the potential of the Quebecois. Discontent was rising and rising and on January 9th, 2008.  At about 9 a.m. thousands of people armed with firearms captured key locations in downtown Trois-Rivieres.  At noon, the local authorities sent two police units to deal with, what they believed it was,  a minor uprising. The policemen, however, largely defected to the insurgents. By sunset, the city's downtown was almost entirely under the insurgents' control. The insurgents then elected Jacques-Josquin Truteau as their leader. In a speech, Truteau announced that this was the beginning of a national uprising against the regime, and it's final goal would be the full liberation of Canada, and a restoration of democracy.

 * Real News: FL operatives start disseminating news about the fascist regime's atrocities and starts promoting the revolutionary cause.
 * Our Fifth Column: We send secret operatives to the parts of the city that are not under our control in order to undermine the local authorities' control over the city. We spread agitation and propaganda among them in order to attract them to join the FL.
 * Their Fifth Column: Fearful of fascists within the territory under our control who might try to undermine FL we encourage people to report on someone who may be a fascist or a fascist sympathiser. Over the past three months, FL has arrested 50 possible fascists, who all received life-long prison sentences.
 * They Shall Not Pass: We dig trenches and build barricades and other fortifications around downtown Trois-Rivières to prevent the fascists from entering FL-controlled territory.
