[news] Du Watergate à la Crise d'octobre - Les crimes de Nixon et de Trudeau 30 ans après

[Resist!ca]

[editor's note, by ron] Two articles on Watergate's Deep Throat. One in english, one in french. This past week brought us news of the identity of the infamous "Deep Throat" who brought down the U.S. Nixon regime in 1972. At the same time it was also revealed that this man, the No. 2 man at the FBI -- second only to J. Edgar Hoover -- was himself guilty of everything he had exposed at the Nixon White House, and more. Meanwhile in Canada, an equally odious dirty tricks campaign was being waged against the Parti Quebecois and the Quebec separatiste movement by the Trudeau Liberal regime, which culminated in the 1970 "October Crisis" and the suspension of civil liberties. The author of this piece (in french), a first-hand observer, reflects on how the outcome was very different for the guilty parties of both countries, for political crimes which occurred within roughly the same time frame. What we have here is truly "just us", canadian-style.
