Réseau de Résistance du Québécois
Quebec nationalist group
The Réseau de Résistance du Québécois (French pronunciation: [ʁezo də ʁezistɑ̃s dy kebekwa], RRQ; English: Québécois Network of Resistance) is a small fringe Quebec nationalist group founded in 2007 that advocates Quebec sovereignty. In 2008, the RRQ claimed a membership of 500 people. The RRQ have released a manifesto, called "Manifeste du Réseau de Résistance du Québécois (RRQ)".
Protests & campaigns
In January 2008, the RRQ accused the organizers of Quebec City’s 400th anniversary celebrations of being revisionists.
On March 17, 2008, the RRQ marched at the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Montreal. Members of the RRQ waved Quebec, Patriote and Irish flags. The RRQ also planned to distribute leaflets commemorating links between Irish Canadians and Quebecers, including the involvement of Irish immigrants in the Patriote movement of 1837 in Lower Canada, as Quebec was known at the time. However, both the Mouvement Québec français and the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society of Montreal, two larger Québec nationalist groups, distanced themselves from the RRQ's march.
In January 2009, the RRQ campaigned against the combat reenactment of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.

Why this record matters
“Réseau de Résistance du Québécois” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Réseau, Résistance and Québécois provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3456643. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2007, 2008, 1837 and 2009.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
