Question

Did the FLQ crisis in Canada affect the rest of the world in naval terms?

Short answer

No wider naval consequence is identified. The kidnappings and killing are connected to increased attention from security organisations.

Notes

The FLQ is identified as the Front de libération du Québec. The immediate context is the abduction of British diplomat James Cross and the murder of a Quebec labour minister. No particular naval deployment or international naval effect is identified. Kidnapping and killing attract the attention of security organisations, which begin treating the movement as an active threat. Safe passage to Cuba for the kidnappers is also mentioned.
