Pascale Ferrier, a dual citizen of Canada and France, has been imprisoned for almost 22 years for mailing homemade ricin to President Donald Trump and eight Texas law officers.
Ferrier, 56, was caught by the U.S. authorities in September of 2020 after crossing the Canadian border into Buffalo, New York, armed with a firearm, a knife, and a store of ammunition.
In the ricin-tainted package she mailed to the former president, she had included a letter branding him an “ugly tyrant” and rambling: “If it doesn’t work, I’ll find better recipe for another poison, or I might use my gun when I’ll be able to come. Enjoy!”
Ricin has no known antidote, and has been used in a number of notable assassinations, with the 1978 killing of Bulgarian journalist Georgi Markov in London, England probably the most infamous. Markov was killed by a ricin pellet injected into his leg with the tip of an umbrella while he was waiting at a bus stop, likely by an agent of his native Bulgaria – then one of the Soviet Union’s communist puppet states.
Ferrier made the poison at her home in the French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec.
