Instead of retreating from the fray, Jehovah’s Witnesses released a second broadside, a pamphlet entitled “Quebec, You Have Failed Your People!” This answer to Duplessis’ false charges was distributed in January 1947, and this time the distribution took place at night to avoid the continuing arrests of God’s people by the Quebec police.

With the aid of Jehovah’s spirit, and with such love, faith, loyalty and determination, God’s people in Quebec faced the foe. And the enemy had not given up the fight. The heat of exposure in the pamphlet “Quebec’s Burning Hate” sent Duplessis looking for more weapons of threat and oppression. In addition to the swarm of bylaw cases, he resumed the old standby of seditious libel charges. Over 100 such charges were laid against 50 Witnesses. These cases were instituted at Sherbrooke, Amos, Montreal and St-Joseph-de-Beauce. For evidence, the prosecutors relied on the two pamphlets “Quebec’s Burning Hate” and “Quebec, You Have Failed Your People!”
