There is a publication ban on details of the bail hearing, which heard from an RCMP officer, the three accused and several of their family members.

Gurski: How safe from attack can public events really be?

Toronto Diversity Bollards

Recently, the village of Russell held its semi-annual “Meet me on Main Street” event (it alternates years with nearby Embrun). This gathering has become popular of late in small communities in eastern Ontario, where local vendors and groups set up tables and engage with their neighbours.

This year’s edition was a huge success, with hundreds of residents milling along the main drag, Concession Street. The hot, muggy weather was no deterrent, although I must confess the presence of two craft breweries helped.

Mohammedan Climate Nutter Latest Flavor of “Canadian Terrorism”

Ex-pilot called himself messiah on climate-change mission, day before alleged hijack

The day before the suspected hijacking of a light aircraft triggered a security scare at Vancouver’s airport this week, former commercial pilot Shaheer Cassim posted on social media that he was a “messenger of Allah” sent to save humanity from climate change.

A 39-year-old man with the same name has now been charged with hijacking, constituting terrorism, over the incident on Tuesday that saw Norad scramble F-15 fighter jets before the light plane safely landed.

The Threat From Far-Right Extremists Pales in Comparison to Jihadi Terrorism

Remember Chicken Little (a.k.a. Henny Penny)? She was the one running around warning that the sky was falling and spreading panic all around. In the end, the heavens were not, in fact, plummeting, and we now use the phrase “Chicken Little” to describe those who spread myths about danger that are ill-founded.

Last week, Canadians learned of an “imminent” plot by four men in Quebec, including two members of the Armed Forces, that probably came as a bombshell (no pun intended) to those tuning in. This “anti-authoritarian militia” had weapons, planned to seize land, had engaged in “training,” and appeared to be recruiting like-minded people online.

Soldiers accused in alleged militia plot had limited access to army bases, equipment

The soldiers charged in connection with an alleged terrorist conspiracy had been under restrictions that limited their access to army bases and equipment, and none of the weapons, ammunition or explosives in their alleged arsenal originated from the Canadian military, the Department of National Defence (DND) says.

The statement from the DND on Monday morning did not say where those items, which were seized as part of the RCMP-led investigation that led to four arrests last week, came from.

RCMP charges CAF members with trying to create ‘anti-government militia’ and seize land

Three men face a terrorism charge for allegedly planning to create an anti-government militia and seize land in Quebec, according to the RCMP.

According to a news release Tuesday morning, the Mounties say the group was involved in an alleged ideologically motivated violent extremism plot “intending to forcibly take possession of land in the Québec City area” and included active members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

I bet at least two are RCMP.

ROBSON: Foreign terror threat blind spot is Canada’s gift to our enemies

Canada is dangerously unprepared to identify and counter foreign extremist threats operating just outside — or increasingly within — our borders.

As Western allies sharpen their legal tools to confront modern paramilitary networks, Canada remains behind. For example, a bipartisan bill introduced June 23 in the U.S. House of Representatives calls for the designation of the Polisario Front as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO,) citing its alleged ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hezbollah, and the PKK. That debate may seem uniquely American — but the question it raises is not.

The Air India Bombing Is Not A Canadian Tragedy

Majority of Canadians say Air India bombing not treated like national tragedy: poll

Forty years after the Air India bombing, the worst terrorist attack in Canadian history, more than half of Canadians say that it has never been treated like a national tragedy.

On June 23, 1985, Canadian Sikh terrorists blew up a bomb aboard Air India Flight 182, en route from Montreal to London, with a final destination of Mumbai. The plane exploded over the Atlantic Ocean, killing all 329 people aboard. The debris washed up in Ireland.

Protecting America from Lone-Wolf Terrorism

Human intelligence, digital monitoring, and a willingness to infiltrate radical groups are key to preventing the next solo attack.

The murder of the couple at the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., the Boulder, Colorado attack on a group supporting the release of hostages held by Hamas, and the assassination of a state legislator in Minnesota are classic examples of “lone-wolf terrorism”—individuals carrying out ideologically motivated violence. The eternal and difficult question for law enforcement is how to stop a lone wolf before he acts.

Multiple people injured in ‘targeted terror attack’ in Boulder, Colorado as suspect hurls Molotov cocktails at pro-Israel rally

Several people have been injured in a ‘targeted terror attack’ involving Molotov cocktails in Boulder, Colorado.

Police and the FBI said the horror unfolded at Pearl Street Mall on Sunday afternoon.

‘We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado,’ said FBI Director Kash Patel just after 5.20pm.

Multiple people injured, evacuations issued after attack on Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall

Multiple blocks of downtown Boulder were evacuated Sunday afternoon after an attack on the Pearl Street Mall that Gov. Jared Polis characterized as a “heinous act of terror.”

“Hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable,” Polis said in a statement on social media. “While details emerge, the state works with local and federal law enforcement to support this investigation.”

Several people were injured in the attack, which occurred near the Boulder County Courthouse at Pearl and 13th streets in downtown, the Boulder Police Department said on social media.

Note they are naming the suspect online but so far I have no official confirmation on the perp’s identity.

Why Is No One Worried About a 5-Fold Increase in Terrorism Charges in Canada?

Remember when car thefts were all the rage? News story after news story told us that this form of crime was skyrocketing in Canada: almost doubling in Ontario and Quebec, up by a third in Alberta, and a fifth in Atlantic Canada in 2022. People were flocking to buy newfangled locking mechanisms, and some owners even put retractable steel or concrete bollards in their driveways!

This scourge was indeed worrisome and received significant media coverage, but it has been superseded by another, much more dangerous one that has not been given nearly enough attention: terrorism arrests in Canada.

The government and media play down the threat with the subtext being that you’re a racist for daring to discuss it out loud.

Inside the ‘strangest terrorist movement the US has ever seen’

Guy Bartkus tried to destroy an IVF clinic to save the embryos the pain of existence. Alarmingly for national security, his ‘promortalist’ philosophy does not die with him

“Is life an illness?” asks a member of a fringe chat group on the internet.

“I’m not depressed,” writes another. “I just don’t want to exist.”

Both identify as “morose and misanthropic” men in the Promortalism group on the chat forum Discord. They are two of several thousand members who sign in regularly to debate the merits of being alive.

In briefing to minister, RCMP warns of 488% jump in terrorism charges

The number of terrorism charges laid in Canada jumped 488 per cent last year amid rising youth radicalization, the RCMP wrote to the public safety minister.

The RCMP’s ministerial briefing binder, posted on a government website this week, said violent extremism remained “a prominent national security threat.”

“Canadian police have foiled six terrorist plots in the last 12 months alone, with arrests spanning from Edmonton to Ottawa to Toronto,” the briefing said.

Why Is Trump’s DOJ Hiding An FBI Informant’s Deposition On The Oklahoma Bombing?

After the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City bombing, the FBI launched a massive manhunt for a mystery accomplice to Timothy McVeigh known as “John Doe 2”—only to later claim that he never existed, and that McVeigh acted largely alone.

Nearly 30 years later, an attorney in Utah named Jesse Trentadue is still working to unearth the truth through his ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for surveillance footage of the blast. According to FBI and Secret Service records, the footage shows McVeigh with another unidentified subject.
