Said the son of the rock star Prime Minister who, through using the War Measures Act in October 1970, had numerous innocent persons rounded up by the police and given indefinite detentions without habeas corpus (as that was suspended during that “crisis”). That in turn gave the separatist Parti Quebecois far more support than it had before.

Some us here in Canada remember the War Measures Act in 1970. “Just watch me” quoth Pierre Trudeau. He who supported draft evasion in WW2. A little bit of his father in Justin Trudeau’s personality. Now he is holier than thou, so to speak in condemning our neighbors in the USA.
