An event for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was cut short in Belleville, Ont., today after nearly 100 protesters surrounded him and his motorcade.

.........

Protesters showed up at the market outside city hall as Trudeau met with a crowd of community members and took selfies.

Trudeau was set to meet with about 10 vendors, but he couldn’t make his way to the other side of the public square after being swarmed by the dozens of protesters.

Some of them were holding Trump flags, while others were screaming expletives about the government and the media.
