  • « Just watch me » (litt. « regardez-moi faire ») est une phrase prononcée par le premier ministre du Canada Pierre Elliott Trudeau le 13 octobre 1970 lors d'une entrevue donnée sur la colline parlementaire à des journalistes, dont Tim Ralfe de CBC. Interrogé sur la présence de l'armée canadienne dans les rues de la ville, Trudeau parle de la nécessité d'entreprendre des actions pour se protéger et ramener l'ordre au Québec qui vit à cette époque la Crise d'Octobre. Tim Ralfe lui demandant jusqu'où il irait dans la suspension des libertés civiles pour maintenir l'ordre, Trudeau lui répond « Well, just watch me ». Trois jours plus tard, il proclame la Loi des mesures de guerre. Cette remarque, à la fois fameuse et controversée, est désormais considérée comme un moment charnière de l'histoire canadienne contemporaine. L'expression est encore utilisée régulièrement dans le milieu politique canadien. (fr)

The term is still regularly used in Canadian political discussion. Trudeau, who had in previous years been a strong proponent of civil liberties, spoke of the need for drastic action to restore order in Quebec. When questioned by CBC reporter Tim Ralfe on how far he would go in the suspension of civil liberties to maintain order, Trudeau replied "Well, just watch me." Three days later, he invoked the War Measures Act, which led to police action against many Quebec dissidents and great public controversy. Just Watch Me: Trudeau and the '70s Generation is the title of a 1999 documentary by Catherine Annau. The phrase has also been the title of several biographies of Trudeau, e.g., Larry Zolf's Just Watch Me: Remembering Pierre Trudeau (1984); Ron Coleman's Just Watch Me: Trudeau's Tragic Legacy (2003); and the 2nd volume of John English's biography, Just Watch Me: The Life of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, 1968–2000 (2009).
