Holy crap. Any motives?

Nothing that I've seen on the couple of stories that I read.

It was just a joke.

Whoa

Oh crap! I lived in Moncton for 4 years back in the 90's! (A truly awesome boomtown, BTW.)

Three RCMP dead, two injured. All schools, colleges and many businesses closed. All local bus routes canceled, all government offices closed. Nobody knows where this lunatic is hiding. The entire city is essentially scared still.

Sad to see something like this happen (a real rarity in Atlantic Canada).

people here in Quebec City are losing their minds over this, this is crazy...guy hates the police...there is video circulating of the cops being killed...

He was in town looking for a friend he served with, the paranoid Sheriff promptly spotted him and picked him up. He drove him to the edge of town and told him how he does not like drifter and trouble makers in his town. He returned to town only to be arrested and that is when all hell broke loose.
