TORONTO—Instead of feeling “serene and confident” in invoking the Emergencies Act to deal with convoy protesters, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should be more concerned with reports of China’s interference in Canadian elections, says former Conservative Party leader  Erin O'Toole.

“What I found troubling today in the Prime Minister’s testimony was that he said he was ’serene and confident,' meaning he’s very confident, and he’s at ease with the fact that he overreacted and used our War Measures Act or Emergencies Act for troublesome protests—and he’s doing nothing about active foreign interference,” the MP for Durham told The Epoch Times on Nov. 25, following Trudeau’s testimony at the public inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act the same day.
