Canadian Armed Forces members among four charged in Quebec extremist plot, RCMP say - Globe and Mail

The Mounties in Quebec say they have arrested four people including active members of the Canadian Armed Forces, alleging the suspects are extremist militia members accused of wanting to take over land near Quebec City.
Canada’s national police force said in a statement Tuesday that the four individuals will appear in court in Quebec City later in the day.
The RCMP alleges that Marc-Aurèle Chabot, 24, of Quebec City, Simon Angers-Audet, 24, of Neuville, and Raphaël Lagacé, 25, of Quebec City, took concrete actions to facilitate terrorist activity.
“The three accused were planning to create anti-government militia. To achieve this, they took part in military-style training, as well as shooting, ambush, survival and navigation exercises. They also conducted a scouting operation,” the RCMP statement said.
“A variety of firearms, some prohibited, as well as high-capacity magazines and tactical equipment were allegedly used in these activities.”
A fourth individual, Matthew Forbes, 33, of Pont-Rouge, faces charges including possession of firearms, prohibited devices and explosives.
The statement said the investigation was led by Quebec’s RCMP-led Integrated National Security Enforcement Team squad.
The Mounties said that the probe traces back to searches conducted in January, 2024, in the Québec City area, which led to the seizure of 16 explosive devices, 83 firearms, 11,000 rounds of ammunition and other military equipment.
According to court documents, the alleged offences took place between 2021 and 2024 in Quebec City, Montreal, and in Ontario at Petawawa and Rolphton.
The four are charged with illegally storing firearms and unauthorized possession of 30-round firearm magazines, a higher capacity than authorized, laser aiming systems, night-vision devices and military smoke grenades.
Mr. Lagacé is charged with illegally keeping 50 firearms and 47 magazines.
Mr. Forbes is charged with unauthorized possession of a CZ Bren 2 MS rifle and a Glock 17 9-millimetre pistol.
None of the allegations have been tested in court.
The Mounties allege that the accused were motivated by an extremist anti-authority, anti-government ideology in favour of setting up an independent land.
“This morning we did the arrests,” said RCMP Corporal Erique Gasse in an interview.
He would not say how many of the suspects were serving military members.
In an interview Tuesday with The Globe and Mail, Staff Sergeant Camille Habel of the Quebec RCMP national security team said the accused allegedly diverted items from the military that were later recovered in raids on residential homes in January, 2024.
“Some military equipment was seized,” she said. But she would not specify whether the seizures included firearms or explosive devices.
Staff Sgt. Habel said authorities monitored the suspects for months after the raids.
“At all times public safety and security was ensured,” she said. “Public safety will always be more important than laying charges.”
The Mountie spokeswoman would not explain the 18-month delay between raids and arrests. But she said the criminal case was pursued as a terrorism prosecution, and that may have contributed to the complexity of the allegations laid in court Tuesday morning.
The RCMP also released images of seized items — including weaponry such as handguns, revolvers, assault rifles, magazines, vests and pouches.
The RCMP says that one of the accused administered an Instagram account “with the aim of recruiting new members to the anti-government militia.” That account was private, Corporal Gasse said, adding that investigators would have it shut down soon.
Another image shows seven men wearing military fatigues in an outdoor area with weapons drawn. The RCMP caption says: “military-style training in which the accused took part.”
While the accused in the case are alleged to have held anti-authority views, the RCMP is not saying what specific ideology was at play and nor are the Mounties speaking to what land, buildings or territories the accused are alleged to have been wanting to take over.
This will be the evidence in the court case.
“When it comes to ideologically motivated extremisms, it’s not clear cut – so people can gather a few different ideologies and make it their own,” Staff Sgt. Habel said. “I guess the main thing about the ideology is anti-authority is in there. In this case, that is what it was. People can have a range of grievances from across the spectrum.”
The allegation that an ideologically motivated Canadian militia was assembling military-grade firepower is alarming, said Carleton University professor Leah West.
“It’s the planned deliberate amassing of weaponry and skills that makes it dangerous,” said Prof. West. “That’s what the significance here is.”
Prof. West, a national-security expert and former Canadian Forces soldier, said the case is unlike any past Canadian terrorism prosecution she has seen.
She said that the considerable gap between the January, 2024, raids and the July, 2025, arrests of active members of the Canadian Forces raises questions that authorities will need to address.
“It signals to me they [the suspects] were under surveillance the entire time,” she said.

This sounds retarded. I cant see this holding up in any court but its Canada so who the fook knows what will happen.

Imagine if the story they are painting is even true. How stupid would this plan be. We all know assault bouncey castles, hot tubs, pig roasts and some large trucks are way more effective then guns, explosives and military tactics.

I am gonna take 500 on the story is fake and gay Alex

We've had various glowies shine brightly and then burn themselves out on FCW over the years. It's hard to remember them all
 
@Trudeaus coke dealer: True, they're surprisingly half-hearted. If I were being paid to shitpost online I'd at least put some fucking effort into it (which is probably why my own posts are so short -- I'm serving the public for free)
