The latter, who is also director of the Center of Expertise and Training on Religious Fundamentalism, Political Ideologies and Radicalization (CEFIR), has long overseen the “National Guard of Quebec”.
“It is a radical fringe that grants false judicial powers based on false laws, false trials and false affidavits. […] They disguised themselves as soldiers and policemen to arrest citizens. It’s like players CosplayBut the members of the National Guard, they take themselves seriously,” Mr. Geoffrey summed up.

News magazine He got his hands on a letter sent to the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) last month. This document contains incorrect informationThe conspiracy group is warning the authorities to close all vaccination centers in the province.
The fake policemen and fake soldiers are planning to talk to the employees of these centers first. Then, they expect to be asked to resign immediately and leave the premises.
“Otherwise you will be arrested shortly by the Quebec National Guard,” their online protocol reads. Note that the group does not use the word police, but rather “sheriff,” because the organization draws inspiration from American models similar to its own to implement its arguments.

The SQ and the Ministry of Public Security (MSP) confirmed they were aware of the Quebec National Guard’s intentions.
“Are these sheriffs accredited in Quebec? No, explained SQ spokesman Sergeant Benoit Richard. In fact, they face criminal charges if they misrepresent themselves as peace officers.
The sergeant invites all Quebecers who encounter a fake “sheriff” or soldier of the National Guard of Quebec to dial 911.
The Ministry of Public Security reminds that only authorized police officers and justice system workers have the power to enforce laws in Quebec.
“MSP is concerned about any initiative of this nature and will liaise with its police partners,” campaigner Louise Quintin wrote in an email.
News magazine These conspiracy theorists have discovered several social media posts over the past few days that purport to recruit and train fake police. Each of these courses is offered at the Académie d’Arts Marteaux du Québec, owned by Frédéric Métivier.

The owner of the Quebec Martial Arts Academy, Frédéric Métivier, was involved in the organization of the Quebec National Guard.
“We are not currently doing interviews with the media,” Mr. Gaumond first mentioned. He accused the government of being the “criminal” and responsible for the “genocide”, without any evidence for his words.
The conspirator refused to reveal the number of fake policemen and soldiers recruited so far. But do they have weapons? “Of course,” he admitted, declining to give further details.
In a video filmed during a demonstration called “Dehors la CAQ” on October 2, Daniel Gaumond speaks on a stage at L’Assomption.
“In Montreal, there are 15 established pharmaceutical companies. It’s a whole bunch of Nazis. They should be shut down and put out. Then the management [elle sera] Hanged after the verdict”, confirmed Mr Gaumond, about six minutes into the sequence.
Quebec’s National Guard took advantage of the demonstration to install posters with their logo in L’Assomption. At this event their members are easily identified wearing camouflage and other company uniforms.

Martin Geoffroy from CEFIR noted that there is always “wall to wall scam” in this type of sovereign citizen group.
“Often the people in these networks have a criminal past or are considered criminals. why It’s easy. When the law is not on your side and things are not going well in your life because you have broken the laws, it is very practical to find parallel laws that give you reason,” Mr. Geoffroy opined.
He was not surprised to learn that the National Guard of Quebec sells each of its fake police officers for $212. These were provided by former Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack, who created a similar movement in the United States ““.

“At the moment, the National Guard of Quebec has not really taken action and is marginal. My impression is that they are waiting for two or three hotheads to do the job, and then they can wash their hands,” dropped Martin Geoffroy.
What they said:
“We are informing you that we are launching an intervention campaign for the closure of vaccination centers throughout Quebec.”
In a letter addressed to the National Guard of Quebec, the police
“It can be very dangerous. When they push their case too far, it invariably goes to jail.

“We want to arrest all the vaccine culprits.”
