Spy agency's recognition of incel extremism opens door to more terrorism charges in Canada
It’s the first time Canadian police have recognized an alleged misogynistic crime as terrorism.
The suspect, who is a minor and cannot be named, was initially charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder. Those charges were upgraded Tuesday after police found evidence the crime is a potential “terrorist activity” as defined in a section of the Criminal Code. “They didn’t try very hard in court to then say let’s add a terrorism charge or let’s add a hate crime charge on top of it and kind of test out the motive game in court at the risk of losing … they had him on a bunch of other things… easily and cheaply.”
