The Colonne de la liberté (French for Column of Liberty) was a symbol of the Patriote movement erected in Saint-Charles, Lower Canada (present-day Quebec) on October 23, 1837. Its name is identical to the column that marked the history of the French Revolution. In 1982, because of the Comité des Patriotes and the Quebec Ministry of Culture, a replica was raised on its presumed original location and still stands today.
