Québec Identitaire (English: Quebec Identity) is a Quebec based protest group espousing that people that follow Islam should leave Canada.[1][2] In November 2014, the group vandalized several mosques in Quebec and left paper leaflets with a written message in Quebec French "Islam hors de chez moi" (English: "Islam out of my country").[1][3]

These incidents came shortly after two separate attacks by lone wolf terrorists sympathetic to the group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The attacks, the 2014 Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu ramming attack and the 2014 shootings at Parliament Hill, Ottawa, led to the deaths of two Canadian Armed Forces personnel.
