Charter? Ironic, because Trudeau is the only prime minister who declared martial law, jailed hundreds without charges because of their political beliefs and put thousands of troops into the streets of Ottawa and Montreal - helicopters roaring overhead. This came after the FLQ group staged several mailbox bombings and then kidnapped a Quebec politician and a British diplomat. Trudeau brought in the War Measures Act - martial law. That's when the FLQ murdered Quebec minister Pierre Laporte. Maybe he would've  survived if Trudeau hadn't brought in martial law. We'll never know. Oh, and Trudeau let the kidnappers fly to Cuba afterward - to party with his buddy Fidel Castro. If Trudeau's much-praised Charter of Rights existed at that time, he would have been jailed and tried afterward. NDP's founding leader Tommy Douglas said then that Liberal government was using a "sledgehammer to crack a peanut."
