Réseau de Résistance du Québecois (RRQ) is an organisation working for the independence of Quebec.



History

Created by young nationalists, the RRQ is a militant organization launched by the newspaper "Le Québécois".

In January 2008, the Réseau de Résistance du Québecois launched a campaign against Québec City’s 400th anniversary celebrations and accused the organizers of being revisionists.

In January 2009, the RRQ launched a major campaign against the Combat reenactment of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, a important battle of the French and Indian war. The RRQ played a major role in the cancellation of the reenactment. A spokesperson for the Réseau de Résistance du Québecois, notable Quebec filmaker Pierre Falardeau had warned that, "some people will get their asses kicked" if the re-enactment took place. The RRQ had promised visiting re-enactment spectators "a trip they won't soon forget".

The victory rightly belonged to the small Réseau de résistance du Québec and its spokesman on the re-enactment.
