A Manitoba man who armed himself and rammed a gate at Rideau Hall to confront Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been granted day parole.
The Parole Board of Canada denied full parole for Corey Hurren but approved for him to spend six months living in an undisclosed halfway house on day parole.
Hurren, who once served with the military's Canadian Rangers, drove a truck on July 2, 2020, onto the grounds of the governor general's official residence and crashed through the gate, causing $100,000 in damage. He pleaded guilty last spring to seven weapons offences and a charge of mischief and was sentenced to six years. A judge also ordered a lifetime weapons ban.
“You have attended every session and have been fully engaged and receptive to the psychoeducation, supportive counselling and coping strategies,” it wrote.Hurren identifies as Metis through his paternal side of the family but was not raised with any knowledge of Indigenous culture, the decision said.
The decision said the Correctional Service of Canada opposed Hurren's parole saying he, “displays limited insight and remorse.”
