CSIS said the threat of attacks had not increased significantly.
Canada is experiencing a “concerning increase” in extremism but does not need to raise its terrorism threat level, according to CSIS .
“While the threat environment has evolved over the last decade and increased in recent years, the threat of a realized attack has not risen significantly,” CSIS said.It is based on the recommendation of the government’s Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre . “All of these factors together lead to Canada’s national threat level remaining at medium, which is in line with the threat levels issued in the Five Eyes partner countries.”Medium means an attack “could occur,” and “high” means one is likely while “critical” means highly likely.
