RCMP charges military members in alleged plot to seize Quebec land
Description
The RCMP says active-duty members of the Canadian Armed Forces are among four people charged in an alleged plot to seize land near Quebec City and create an 'anti-government militia,' with three people charged with facilitating terrorist activity. Insight Threat Intelligence president Jessica Davis says the weapons seized amount to 'by far' the largest cache we've seen from an alleged extremist group in Canada, and puts the allegations in context with a changing landscape of ideologically motivated extremism in the country. Plus, Public Service Alliance of Canada national president Sharon DeSousa responds to the finance minister's call for cabinet to find 'ambitious savings' in government spending over the next four years, warning it will mean jobs cuts and diminished services.
