Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

The Canadian RCMP arrested and charged four people, including active military members, who were "planning to create an anti-government militia" and to "forcibly take possession of land" in the province of Quebec. This marks the largest weapons cache ever seized as part of a terrorism investigation in Canada. The four lunatics are Marc-Aurle Chabot (24), Simon Angers-Audet (24), Raphal Lagac (25), and Matthew Forbes (33). Three of them are accused of planning to create an anti-government militia. This cell conducted military-style training: shooting, ambush, survival, and land navigation exercises. The three also conducted a "scouting operation" of an undisclosed target. Matthew Forbes was charged with possession of firearms, prohibited devices, and explosives. The four maniacs have not yet entered pleas. An arrest is merely an allegation. All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of a law.

Canada is not immune to terrorism. From the 1963 to 1970, Quebec separatists launched a terrorism campaign seeking independence from Anglo-dominant Canada. The Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ) was involved in over 160 violent incidents, killing eight people and injuring hundreds. In 1985, Sikh separatists detonated a bomb on Air India Flight 182 departing Toronto killing 329 passengers. In 2014 after Conservative PM Stephen Harper joined the US in supporting attacks against ISIS targets in the Middle East, a lone actor counterattacked the Canadian Parliament, killing one and wounding three. Security forces rendered the perpetrator ineffective. Note that three of the suspects in this instant offense have French names, one has an Anglo name. When it comes to ideological or racist extremism, the Anglo-French divide in Canada seems to blur. This cell was recruiting members via Instagram.
