Once in awhile agencies in Canada do a good job.. CSIS has been primarily the most honourable and honest of agencies which is frightening as they are only involved in spycraft, they don't even have arrest powers, RCMP have a very rocky reputation. TPS, Peel Region, OPP and others have certainly narrowed the gap if not, surpassed them in many instances.

This has made news here so I share it with my American brothers and sisters.



The RCMP has charged four men, including two active members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), with being part of an extremist plot that allegedly involved creating an anti-government militia with a massive trove of weapons.

In a news release Tuesday morning, the Mounties said the group was involved in an alleged ideologically motivated violent plot "intending to forcibly take possession of land in the Quebec City area."

Three of them — Marc-Aurèle Chabot, 24, of Quebec City; Simon Angers-Audet, 24, of Neuville, Que; and Raphaël Lagacé, 25, also of Quebec City — have been charged with the serious offence of facilitating a terrorist activity. They also face weapon-possession charges.

"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," the RCMP said.
