Despite growing extremism, Canada keeps terror threat level at medium … to appease the LPC’s Muslim vote bloc

Canada is experiencing a “concerning increase” in extremism but does not need to raise its terrorism threat level, according to CSIS.

Despite a series of attacks and disrupted plots, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service said the threat level would remain at “medium.”

… Former CSIS analyst Phil Gurski said the threat level should be based on corroborated intelligence about the number of extremists and their ability to plan and execute attacks.

He questioned whether CSIS was downplaying the threat posed by groups like ISIS at the behest of a government concerned about political optics, noting France raised its threat posture to the highest level last year.
