Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had to cut short his appearance at an event in Belleville, Ont., after nearly 100 protesters surrounded him and his motorcade.

Mr. Trudeau was in the city on July 20 to mark the seventh anniversary of the Liberal government’s Child Care Benefit. He had planned to meet with the city’s mayor Neil Ellis and visit a local farmers’ market.
