Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday that “international partners” had expressed concern about the Freedom Convoy protests in the lead-up to the federal government’s invoking of the Emergencies Act on Feb. 14.

“Quite frankly, there were concerns expressed by international partners as well, seeing the illegal occupations of border crossings, of sites across the country,” Trudeau told reporters in Toronto on Nov. 4.
