Trudeau said, "Just watch me."

So, the Liberal Party of Canada pulled one of their attack ads off their website before many people could see it. Luckily, the media has archived it for us, and Damian has a transcript.

The basic gist of the ad is:

Stephen Harper actually announced he wants to increase military presence in our cities. Canadian cities. Soldiers with guns. In our cities. In Canada.

What I find really funny about this is this quote from Pierre Elliot Trudeau:

PET: "Well, there's a lot of bleeding hearts around who just don't like to see people with helmets and guns. All I can say is go on and bleed. It's more important to keep law and order in this society than to be worried about weak-kneed people who don't like the looks of helmets."

REPORTER: "How far are you going to take this?"
PET: "Well, just watch me"

So you see, Paul Martin is now exagerating the Conservative plan for deploying troops in the cities to being enactment of the War Measures Act. Which, by the way, would be impossible to do if you got rid of the Notwithstanding Clause...

It would also appear to me that Paul Martin is also one of those "bleeding hearts" Trudeau was talking about... The old man must be turning in his grave.
