Description:
OCTOBER 13, 1970“Just Watch Me”
CBC reporter Tim Ralphe questions Prime Minister Trudeau at the front entrance of the Parliament Buildings. Ralphe expresses concern about the heavy military presence in the city. Trudeau replies, “Yes, well there are 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, but it is more important to keep law and order in the society than to be worried about weak-kneed people.” Ralphe asks Trudeau exactly how far he is willing to go. Trudeau responds, “Well, just watch me.” Robert Demers, a senior official within the Quebec Liberal Party, begins negotiating with FLQ lawyer Robert Lemieux.
