Candice Bergen blames Trudeau's language for blockade of Parliament Hill and different border crossings

Conservative interim leader Candice Bergen says she will be taking a look at the Emergencies Act invoked Monday by the federal government.

She blamed the ongoing blockade of Parliament Hill and different border crossings on the divisive language she says Trudeau has used throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many Conservative MPs, including Bergen, supported protesters who travelled to Ottawa more than three weeks ago. Many of them have not left.

Bergen says Conservatives are the party of law and order and want the blockades to be removed and people to protest peacefully.

Conservative leader Candice Bergen questioned the unprecedented action.

The Emergencies Act replaced the War Measures Act in 1988 and is more limited in what it can do, including requiring parliamentary oversight.
