Canadian Armed Forces Member Charged in Terrorist Case No Longer in the Military
Authorities say Marc-Aurèle Chabot was the first active-duty Canadian military member charged with terrorist offenses under the criminal code.
- On Tuesday, the Canadian Armed Forces confirmed Corporal Marc-Aurèle Chabot is 'no longer a member' of the military following his arrest last July for taking 'concrete actions to facilitate terrorist activity.'
- The RCMP arrested Chabot in July 2025 alongside Raphaël Lagacé and Simon Angers-Audet for allegedly planning to seize land for an anti-government militia near Quebec City.
- Facing weapons charges, Matthew Forbes remains a member of the Canadian Armed Forces but is 'not currently performing military duties,' the RCMP said.
- Department of National Defence spokesperson Cheryl Forrest cited the Privacy Act regarding Chabot's release, while the Quebec Superior Court maintains a publication ban on the alleged plot's facts.
- A hearing is scheduled for September as Reuters and a media coalition contest the publication ban to determine if details surrounding the alleged terrorist plot can be released.
