Description: "11/04/1968: A time bomb exploded at about 9:30 p.m. in front of a Murray Hill Limousine Service building, shattering two office windows. The incident followed a demonstration a week earlier by Montreal taxi drivers who were protesting Murray Hill's monopoly on transporting passengers from Montreal International Airport in suburban Montreal. According to Fournier (pp. 139-140), this incident was one of an ""almost uninterrupted series of [Front de Liberation du Quebec] bombings...intended as support for striking workers in the name of ""social revolution."""
