After the FLQ, there was no other Quebecois terrorist organizations in Canada, due to how the FLQ was treated by the Provincial and Federal governments.

After the kidnapping of the British diplomat James Cross at the beginning of October, the Federal police (RCMP) combined with Quebecois police officers began a frantic campaign to find him. The Quebec provincial government at this time requested Federal military aid, but that didn't happen at the time. However, after the kidnapping of Pierre Laporte, the federal government brought in the War Measures Act, which allowed not only the deployment of the armed forces, but restrictions on Civil liberties, such as the suspension of habeas corpus. While most Troops were deployed in the Quebec side of Ottawa to protect federal buildings, there were also deployments in Montreal, Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivieres and the region of Saguenay

While Leporte would be murdered and several FLQ members fled to Cuba, later to be arrested upon their return to Canada, the state achieved its aims of destroyed the FLQ as a threat.

However, the real affect of the War Measures act was an increase in peaceful Quebecois nationalism. During the crisis, around 500 people were detained by the police, the vast majority of which were released after with no charge. These people were not violent; usually they were merely academics or journalists or artists who were merely sympathetic to an independent Quebec. This translated later on into larger support for peaceful separation from Canada, with the Parti Quebecois winning power in Quebec 6 years later in 1976, and the emergence of a federal party dedicated to Quebecois separatism called the Bloc Quebecois, which has had a large influence in Parliament (even forming official opposition in 1993!) during the later half of the 20th century
