A former Canadian Armed Forces reservist who drove a truck loaded with weapons through the gates of Rideau Hall with the intention to confront the prime minister has been freed on statutory release.

According to a Parole Board of Canada decision obtained by The Epoch Times, Corey Hurren was scheduled for release from prison on July 7 following a change to his sentencing. After staying in a community residential facility on weekends for around six months with no issues, Mr. Hurren will transition to a room at the house through a community organization.
