Terrorism in Canada

Terrorism in Canada refers to acts of violence intended to intimidate or coerce for political, ideological, or religious goals. While Canada has a low incidence of terrorism compared to other countries, it faces threats from domestic extremists and international groups. The Canadian government monitors threats and has implemented laws and policies to prevent attacks. Notable events, such as the 2014 Parliament Hill shooting, highlight the ongoing concern. Security agencies, including the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), work to identify and mitigate risks to ensure public safety and protect national interests.
