After his arrest, Bourque admitted responsibility and claimed that he committed the crimes in an attempt to spark a rebellion against the Canadian government, which he believed was oppressive, corrupt, and serving only the wealthy at the expense of other citizens.

He hid in the woods during the 28 hour manhunt where he "lived like a snake" to evade authorities.

While being taken into custody, Bourque reportedly told police, "I'm done."
