NYT: Canadian Armed Group Charged in Plot to Seize Quebec Land
The men charged with terrorism offenses were identified as Marc-Aurèle Chabot, 24, and Raphaël Lagacé, 25, both of Quebec City, and Simon Angers-Audet, 24, of Neuville, Quebec. Matthew Forbes, 33, of Pont-Rouge, Quebec, was charged with the explosives and weapons offenses.
Mr. Forbes and Mr. Chabot are corporals in the Canadian Armed Forces stationed at a large base northwest of Quebec City, the military said in a statement on Tuesday evening. The armed forces added that another of the accused men is a former member of the Canadian Forces while the fourth man was once a civilian instructor with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. Neither of those men were identified by name.
In the statement, the police said that the men facing the terrorism charges had been “planning to create anti-government militia.”
You realize that what these shit pumps were doing wasn’t approved by the military and now that the forces know about it they will be dishonorably kicked out so hard they’ll have the taste of boot polish in their mouths, right?
Not to mention the 2 current and one former CAF member can be given a stretch in Edmonton. For the Cadet instructor it would depend on whether he has a commission. The 2 current will probably do at least two sentences, one in Edmonton the other in a federal prison.
For those who don’t know: Edmonton is where the military prison is. Referred to as “Club Ed” by members and is known to be a living hell designed specifically to break you through non-stop work and makes regular civilian prison look like a vacation. You have to be an absolute piece of shit like these guys to end up in that correctional facility. They are guaranteed to not be the same when they get out of there.
The CAF doesn’t mess around with people like these so if you think they are representative of the CAF as a whole you are wrong.
