Reporter: How far are you going to go.
Trudeau: Watch me!
The only memorable quote from an otherwise incompetent idiot. I loved it. The Liberals locked up anyone they didn't like on the pretext of an apprehended insurrection. WTF is an apprehended insurrection? Everyone knew it was BS but I don't know what they told the soldiers. 10 years later I discussed the matter with a Canadian Airborne Regiment sergeant and he believed the party the party line that the government was then about to be overthrown. He said he almost shot some Van Doos because he was told that any non-Airborne soldiers in their zone would be fake. Having English speaking soldiers shoot some French speaking soldiers in downtown Montreal would have done wonders for national unity.
Anyway Trudeau is dead and the world is a better place.
