Imported weapons, darts, lead potion and dangerous goods. A raid by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on a conspirator in the Laurentians may have prevented a bloodbath, reveals a recent court decision.
Federal police were surprised to find barrels of gasoline and bags of fertilizer on site, in addition to the materials needed to 3D print gun parts. A lead-based COVID-19 “cure” was simmering on a stove.
Prohibited weapons were also recovered by the police, including a weapon firing pepper spray projectiles and a severed rifle that could project dangerous darts.
“You arrived a week too early, otherwise I would have been equipped to defend my property,” he would have launched, in essence, to the federal police who apprehended him.
These details are contained in the decision of the juvenile court which withdraws custody of his three children from the father of the family, to entrust them to their mother. The decision dates from the end of 2022, but the police raid dates back to November 2021.
The RCMP had moved because about twenty “pieces of firearms intended for the parents’ home had been intercepted at the border” and that “the father was spreading information on the Internet claiming that he was a citizen holding the rights to defend its territory by any means.
Neither the police force nor the lawyers for the mother and children wanted to comment on the situation. The Press n / A could not reach the individual at the center of the file. Its identification is prohibited by law.
Conspirator and survivalist
According to the decision of judge Dany Pilon, the man at the center of the case seems to belong to the movement of “sovereign citizens”, conspirators who reject the authority of the State and the legal system. He also hoarded food and survival gear around the house, much like a survivalist.
“Inside, we quickly notice a clutter as well as an exceptional disorder, describes a worker from the DPJ in a report. In the basement, we find an atypical clutter of objects or products such as household products, gas masks, boxes, supplies ranging from Ziploc type bags to gas cans. »
At the time of his arrest by the RCMP, the man repeated the formula “protest under arrest” while resisting. His wife and one of his children followed suit.
The three children had been homeschooled since 2019. They had been isolated for months, “without any possibility of seeing other children”, according to Judge Pilon, who concluded that there was physical and educational neglect.
The magistrate decided to entrust the siblings to the mother of the family and to grant supervised visitation rights to the father, conditional on collaboration with the social services. The judge forbade him “to hold a speech which translates his philosophy to the children or in front of them”.
