MONTREAL — Newly released court documents show how police spent months tracking four men accused in an alleged anti-government plot in Quebec.

The investigation of the men, two of whom are members of the Canadian Armed Forces, began in March 2023 following a tip from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and involved aerial and GPS surveillance.

Three of the four men were charged in July with facilitating a terrorist activity and are accused of plotting to forcibly take over land in the Quebec City region, while the fourth is facing weapons charges.

The documents detail how members of a group called Hide & Stalk performed military-style training at a hunting area near Quebec City in 2023.
