Sony to Release videogame where you fight the evil Quebers

Canadians may soon be involved in a war to protect Toronto's subway tunnels from Quebec terrorist separatists.

But residents of the country's largest city need not panic because the frightening scenario is relegated to virtual reality. A new video game by Sony will make Quebec terrorists among a series of bad guys.

In Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain, players take on the roles of new recruits in an agency that's trying to uncover a conspiracy that has unleashed the deadly Syphon Filter virus. It's the fourth in a series of games by the global video game giant.

Players can play solo or team up online to stop the deadly group from unleashing a programmable weapon of mass destruction.

In one mission, the Quebec Liberations Front has taken control of one of Toronto's underground subway tunnels. Players must use weapons to kill terrorists who have fortified a position near a stopped train.

The terrorist group is an apparent reference to the Front de liberation du Quebec (FLQ), whose kidnapping and murder of Quebec cabinet minister Pierre Laporte in 1970 led to the imposition of the War Measures Act.
