Thinking back to the October Crisis and that famous impromptu interview by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau after declaring martial law following the kidnappings of Quebec minister Pierre Laporte and British diplomat James Cross....

Reporter - "Prime Minister, how far will you go to champion the middle class by giving access to the wealthy elite and foreign interests at $1500 a pop?"

JT - "Just watch me."

Reporter - "What do you say to all the Canadians concerned about the ethical implications and optics of this cash for access to ministers of the Crown scheme."

JT - "I think it's only weak-kneed bleeding hearts who are afraid to take these measures. Yes, well there are a lot of bleeding hearts around... (a)ll I can say is, go on and bleed." 

Not quite the same as Pierre Trudeau standing up to the FLQ, eh?
