Court documents outlining allegations against Corey Barclay Hurren, arrested after a truck was crashed through the gates of Rideau Hall, suggest the attack may well have been an assassination attempt, featuring a direct threat against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and four loaded guns — a handgun, a semi-automatic rifle and two shotguns.

Two of the guns were either restricted or prohibited, including a loaded Norinco M14 rifle, which is a prohibited firearm under the May 1st Liberal government ban on “assault-style firearms.”

Hurren, 46, who was an active member of the Canadian Armed Forces, was arrested Thursday after breaching the grounds of the residence where Trudeau and his family live, and charged Friday with 22 criminal offenses.

Man who allegedly crashed truck through Rideau Hall's gate with four guns is soldier troubled by COVID conspiracies

His social media history suggest a deteriorating response to the pandemic. He moves from jokes of hoarding toilet paper and making masks out of strips of bacon to dissatisfaction with Trudeau’s compensation plan, imagery of apocalyptic anarchy and an embrace of paranoid conspiracy theories pushed by fringe online groups.

Hurren apparently drove from his home in Bowsman, in northern Manitoba, to Ottawa, carrying four guns, ammunition and what appeared to be military food rations.

Shortly before he crashed his Dodge Ram pickup truck through the heavy gates around Rideau Hall early Thursday, a conspiracy theory meme supporting the notion that global elites purposely launched the novel coronavirus, was posted to his meat company’s Instagram account.
