Description: "07/16/1982: A bomb was placed outside of the Office de la Langue Francais (OLF) in Montreal, Quebec. The OLF was responsible for implementing Quebec's controversial language law. A Non-Francophone group or individual was suspected of planting the bomb. The bomb did not contain a detonator, and can therefore be considered a hoax."
