The establishment of the war measures act was inevitable. Terrorist activity cannot be tolerated and must be fought - without the War Measures Act, further escalation would have led to hundreds more deaths and a terrorist-dominated society, culminating in an eventual establishment of the act years down the line. In fact, it is arguable that the War Measures Act came at the precise time where it was already evident that other measures were ineffective (as signified by the requests for military help from the Premier of Quebec and the Mayor or Montreal), while saving the most lives.

If the War Measures Act had not been invoked during the October Crisis, Canada might have faced greater violence, instability, and a loss of public confidence. The FLQ had already committed serious acts of terrorism, including kidnapping and murder. Without the Act, authorities would have not had the legal tools to act quickly, possibly allowing the FLQ to escalate their campaign. Making the Act allowed the government to restore order, disable the FLQ, and show that terrorism would not be tolerated—protecting Canada’s democratic institutions in a time of crisis.
