In July of 2025, a Sean Feucht worship service at a Church in Montreal was interrupted by a masked intruder, who charged into the church and deployed two smoke bombs on stage, which many Canadians would consider to be a hate crime.
Alexa Lavoie, a journalist for Rebel News, was in the church when this crime occurred and, with the assistance of tips from the public, was able to track down a man she believed to be suspect named Gabriel Lepage who works in the Department of National Defence, at the 2nd Canadian Division Support Group – formerly known as Canadian Forces Base (CFB-Montreal at Longue-Pointe).
When she approached Lepage, he appeared to be “feverishly texting unknown recipients”, and according to Lavoie’s accounts, about half an hour later, “three unidentified people showed up riding bikes in black-block style clothing and wearing masks, with a woman with green hair in a car following behind”.
Subsequent footage showed Lavoie being allegedly assaulted by a man on a bike, while attempting to pull the camera she had around her neck from her.
While this assault is concerning, far more concerning is the potential that political extremists have infiltrated the Department of National Defence. As noted by Rebel News, this disturbing event “suggests Antifa cells may operate without our national defense, raising concerns about the number of such individuals, their training for attacks, the origin of incendiary devices, and why Lepage remains at large despite being unmasked and exposed in media”.
As noted by Rebel News, this is potentially much more than a hate crime, “some deem this a terrorist attack on Christians. It’s not an isolated incident, but reveals a systemic issue: a government that legislates against “hate speech” and “hate crimes” yet appears to cover up clear hate crimes when they happen”.
