Soldier accused of terrorism
A Quebec man previously charged with facilitating terrorist activity has been released from the Canadian Armed Forces. The individual was part of a group accused of plotting to form an anti-government militia, though the charges remain unproven in court.

Chabot was one of three Quebec men charged in July 2025 with allegedly participating in what the RCMP alleged was an anti-government extremist plot in the Quebec City area.
