The Montreal Stock Exchange bombing was a domestic terrorist bombing of the Montreal Stock Exchange building in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on Thursday, February 13, 1969.[1] Perpetrated by the separatist Front de libération du Québec (FLQ), the bombing happened some 40 minutes before the end of trading, injuring 27 people.[2] The blast destroyed a large portion of the trading floor, visitor gallery,[1] and the building's northeast wall,[3] causing nearly $1 million worth of property damage.[4]

The attack was one of the FLQ's biggest in its bombing campaign, and was the culmination before the October Crisis of 1970.[5]
