OTTAWA—A Manitoba man who rammed a gate at Rideau Hall before arming himself and heading on foot toward Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s home last July was sentenced Wednesday to six years in prison.

Corey Hurren, a 46-year-old sausage-maker who served with the military’s Canadian Rangers, was given one year of credit for time spent in custody, meaning he still faces five years behind bars.
