This is great. It is 36 years old, but it's refreshing. Decisive political leadership in action. I wonder what the response would be today?
"Canada looks more like a police state than a democracy eight days after the kidnapping of British Trade Commissioner James Cross. On Parliament Hill, a reporter confronts Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau: "What is it with all these men and guns around here?" With army tanks and men in full gear, Trudeau boosted national security. But the military's presence makes some Canadians feel a whole lot more insecure. How far will the prime minister extend law and order? Just watch him."
