Canada Faces Unprecedented Terror Threat Amid Rising Charges

[Social Media]

 

The threat of terrorism in Canada “has rarely been higher,” according to a report published Wednesday following the New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans. The study, conducted by Ottawa-based Insight Threat Intelligence, highlighted a marked increase in terrorism-related activity, describing the trend as statistically significant.

 

“The bottom line: Terrorism in Canada is on the rise,” the report declared, noting a surge in terrorism charges from 2007 to 2024. The number of charges serves as “an important indicator” of the threat level, given that such arrests often prevent planned attacks from being carried out.

 

“Across the board, terrorism attacks and charges have increased in this country over the last 18 years,” the study emphasized. Among the 73 charges recorded during this period, most involved “religiously motivated” individuals affiliated with groups such as the Islamic State and al-Qaida. However, the report pointed to a recent shift, noting an increase in charges against individuals driven by ideological motives, reflecting “a volatile mix of geopolitical tensions and growing radicalization across ideological lines.”

 

This growing diversity in motivations has been linked to specific incidents, including a thwarted bombing attempt at a pro-Israel rally on Parliament Hill and a conspiracy to target Pride Month events in Calgary. Other notable cases involved a father and son charged in a foiled Toronto attack, and a Pakistani student apprehended in Quebec while allegedly en route to the United States to commit a mass shooting at a Jewish center.

 

The threat is not confined to adults. A Toronto youth was arrested in December under a terrorism peace bond and is scheduled for a court appearance next Wednesday. Insight Threat Intelligence also noted that many recent cases involve young people, with some suspects as young as 15.

 

The investigation into these threats extends beyond Canada’s borders. The FBI is currently probing the activities of Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who visited Ontario in 2023. Jabbar is accused of killing 14 people on New Year’s Day using a truck to attack Bourbon Street in New Orleans, an act linked to the Islamic State. In a public appeal, the RCMP urged Canadians to report any information relevant to the FBI’s investigation.

 

A Global News investigation previously reported a surge in ISIS-related cases across Canada since 2023. Yet, according to the Insight Threat Intelligence study, many successful attacks between 2007 and 2024 were carried out by those with ideological or mixed motives, further underscoring the complexity of the evolving threat landscape.

 

The report’s findings offer a stark warning about the persistent and multifaceted nature of terrorism in Canada, highlighting the urgent need for vigilance and effective countermeasures to address the rising tide of extremism.

Canada? what's that? being from here and being back here reminds me how much my nation is low on the totem pole. Terrorists could form a political party and take it over... no need for terrorism and no wonder trump wants to make it the 51st state.

It's all those terrorists from the Jan. 6 insurrection trying to avoid prison.

They don't come any more naive or weaker than Taxania.  For years, political appointments are based on who do you know, not one's background and experience.  So one immigration minister after  another hasn't a clue what to do.  Never hear of Canada's issues in

Japan or Thailand or S. Korea for obvious reasons.  Trudeau Sr started Taxania on the road to perdition and that is exactly where it will end up.  Trump knows this. Achmed, Machmed and Mohammed won't integrate with regular Canadians or socialize with them in a million years.  Their goal is crystal clear except to the brilliant politicians.

Didnt canada take in a bunch of muslims? Thats a problem them and europe will have to deal with permanently now

[jippytum]

Muslim immigration is a  threat to Countries worldwide. 

Efforts to intergrate immigrants into society has failed. Radical clerics with dual nationallities  preaching  hatred should be deported.

Canada is a great example of how to ruin a great country with Liberalism.

 

I actually considered emigrating there in the early noughties.

 

A childhood friend did. Poor sod.

I considered moving there in the 1980s, even went so far as to write to the Canadian Embassy in the UK, the reply I received, "we are only accepting Sikhs at this time" ........ amazing Canada!

I wonder how many of those charges resulted from truck drivers that didn't want the "safe and effective"?  And the occasional mean tweet.

 

It's hard to tell if there's really an increased danger or just fear mongering in a desire for tighter control over their citizens.

Speaking as a Canadian and as one who has lived here for 7+ decades, Canadians are far from being that submissive. As for Trump. most Canadians see him as Chief Clown, or Felon Elect.

Went to Vancouver a few months ago - could barely recognise it from the last time i was there 15 years ago. Complete takeover by the Indian community, and many rich Chinese (Hong Kongers) buying land in the city centre.

I live near the shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto area. I walk my dog daily on the trails and in the many parks along the shoreline. There might be 500 people in a park, I can count the number of new Canadians on one hand, maybe two hands. I don't have a problem with that, just sayin'. But I do frown on the fact that if I order a coffee or fast food, buy gas, go to a medical centre (center), interact with our government, most often, verbal communication is very difficult, quite trying. Otherwise, except for the cold of winter, it is an awesome country. This picture accurately depicts "Canada today".

Muslims integrated successfully into Scotland when I lived there. Only about 1.5% of Scots are Muslim and if there are any radical clerics there are by FAR the minority! I agree these radicals should be deported. Immigration is a problem in Scotland but you continually blaming on religion is not productive in the least. 

Humza Yousaf is a prime example of a second-generation Pakistani-Scottish Muslim who was First minister. 

Anas Sarwar also, who is leader of the Scottish Labour Party.

Muslims from Pakistan/Bangladesh are more willing to integrate into Scottish society than Brits I know who have immigrated to Thailand.

I see no benefit in civilised people's attempting to integrate with more primitive and uneducated people's. As a Scot this maybe less of a problem for you.

Canada has been an epicentre of international crime and narco terrorism for  decades dating back to the money laundering activities of the major banks in the West Indies. Some Canadian banks activities in the 1970's and 1980's were well reflected  by movies like  Casino and Scarface.

 

Canada was selling  citizenship for decades with its investor program that allowed people to "invest" $250,000, then $500,000 to gain a fast track to citizenship. It also had a temporary foreign worker program that was out of control such that there are 5 million temporary canadians now with little attachment or loyalty to the country. The country took in  hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees without  much background verification and it rarely successfully deports  people. Canada was a safe haven for war criminals from   Serbia, Croatia, Congo, Rwanda and Burundi. Canada is also the epicenter of Sikh terrorism. The Arab spring brought an influx of  hundreds of thousands of North Africans , many of whom are followers of political views that can be considered  sympathetic to terrorism.

They have known their education visa was open to abuse. 

 

They have effectively emptied certains states in India (namely the Punjab), with young immgrants who go with no intention to study. 

 

Once they finish their studies they stay there with the visa options. If you are threatened with return you simply claim asylum.

Well, sheepish then. The truckers took over ottawa and just like occupy wall street right after they got rid of the truckers the gvt quickly implemented laws to forbid such kinds of protests. We are submissive to the point of being sheep. Sorry, I am back in Canada after being 21 years in Thailand... the culture shock was astounding.

The truckers did not take over Ottawa. 80 bullies parked their trucks in residential neighborhoods poisoning the locals with fumes and harrassing people by sounding their horns every 30 minutes. They blocked some major intersections. The federal government has no control over the local policing.  The  locals wanted the vehicles  towed and action  taken, but the municipal and provincial governments were slow to act.  It cost the Ottawa police chief his job as citizens became furious. The truck and affiliated protestors were a small and vocal group of  obnoxious vandals. It was evident early on, with the desecration of both the Terry Fox monument and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, that the passive approach to the protests was an ill-thought out strategy.  Locals  started to form vigelante groups to fight back and intervention was finally forced as locals wanted to set  the protestor vehicles  on fire. As it was, some of the vehicles had tires slashed and paint  keyed. Had the police not finally intervened, some of the idiot protestors would have been killed or seriously injured as  peoples' patience had run out.

 

The federal government acted because the people wanted an intervention. If anything, the response was far too  accommodating to a group of ignorant bullies.  Let's see how the organisers of the Freedom Convoy  (sic) manage the  C$300m (US $222m; £175m) civil lawsuit brought against them by Ottawa residents over the disruptions they caused in the city. Personally, I hope they are bankrupted.

I always think of Canadians as hairy folk wearing lumberjack shirts and talking in an odd accent. Is the terror threat from white fragility like Milley said is the case in the USA?

Speaking as one that worked in a Saudi hospital with ordinary Muslim patients, there is no way a "good Muslim" will ever "integrate" into western society. Everything about western society is anathema to them.

The religion will always come before any loyalty to a country. The western loonies never understood that and invited them in by the hundreds of thousands. Shooting us in the foot comes to mind.

I predict the present troubles are just a tiny indication of what is to come.

Errrrr, temporary guests of Thailand are less likely to want to become assimilated than those that seek to make another country their home, and where they are given citizenship easily.

 

Our visas make it plain we are not welcome to assimilate- NON IMMIGRANT!

One can never go wrong if one assumes the government wants more control over us. A bit of fear mongering always helps the program.

Just scare the gullible enough and voila, one can have a CCTV camera on every street corner, with narry a protest.
