I think he can make a case for invoking it. In the Quebec terrorist attack, they had a guy that they felt was a ticking time bomb but didn't have the legal means to apprehend him. They also stated that there are up to 90 other Canadians being watched closely as homegrown jihadists. Then last night, they raised the terror alert based on "chatter". If it turns out that these criminals or terrorists are part of the same group of 90 and that is where the chatter came from, then I could see the WMA enacted in order to round all these guys up.
