This wasn't a true stealth edit as the updated one has the correction "This article was modified to comply with a court-ordered publication ban." but makes no mention of the headline change.

Here seems to be the big differences:

Four lengthy applications for search warrants, submitted by police, show that investigators believed suspects had a powerful cache of firearms, and were willing to use it.

Four lengthy applications for search warrants, submitted by police, show that investigators believed that three of them, Olienick, Carbert and Morin, brought guns to the protest and were prepared to use them against officers.

OG:

In their notes, they wrote about meeting with Olienick, one of the accused, who was not in the leadership group but called himself “security” for the protesters. He also called the protest a “revolution,” according to the notes.

The last line is removed from the current version. Also removed:

“Olienick said they have a stockpile of hundreds of guns and thousands of ammunition and could outfit every man in the building to fight,” part of the applications stated. “Olienick said if the RCMP came in with force they would be met with greater force and that the RCMP were the enemy.”

“Olienick explained that ‘this was a war and he was willing to give up his life and that others were too…,’” the notes added.

The undercover officers also met with Carbert, according to their notes, which detail a discussion between Carbert, Olienick and the officers about an incoming delivery, a hockey bag believed to be filled with weapons.

“[Undercover operative] asked if the delivery was guns. [Undercover officer] noted that Carbert and Olienick looked at each other, nodded their heads and smiled,” the notes stated. “This led police to believe Olienick and his group were arming themselves for a standoff with police.”

The notes also show RCMP intercepted calls and text messages involving all four suspects. The applications detail part of one call between Morin and a woman on February 14, discussing RCMP damaging protesters’ equipment at the blockade.

“Morin said he was going to go back ‘there’ [Coutts blockade area] and put a ‘f****** few slugs’ into their heads…,” the documents show.

Morin was arrested later that day, with two guns in his vehicle, according to police.

One day earlier, on Feb. 13, members of the RCMP Emergency Response Team saw Olienick alone near the saloon and arrested him on a charge of mischief.

And this final line of the original was removed:

A judge ruled on Sept. 7 to unseal the files, with redactions.
