Government documents obtained by Global News reveal disagreements between police, intelligence and public safety officials over how to describe the Canadian far right.

The Canadian government is now trying to invent a problem to detract from Trudeau’s gross incompetence as a leader and the consequent potentially serious issue to public safety. Trudeau embraces Islamic supremacists and Khalistani terrorists, has a disturbing Islamic entryist problem in his government, welcomes Islamic State fighters as “foreign travellers,” and has freely and indiscriminately welcomed in illegal migrants — now up to 400 illegals a day could be entering Canada.

While CSIS and the RCMP are focused heavily on thwarting attacks inspired by ISIS and Al Qaeda, some are calling on them to place more emphasis on other threats, such as the racist, anti-immigrant far right…..CSIS also took issue with calling right-wing extremism “a growing concern in Canada,” saying that was a “subjective statement” and asking, “What is your facting for this?”….Public Safety officials nonetheless kept the line.

“Right wing extremism” is not a current threat to public safety in Canada. Islamic supremacist incursion, however, is a very big threat, along with potential jihad attacks, and they are even more urgently a problem because of Justin Trudeau’s policies. The report below also reveals the ongoing overt attempts to malign groups that have genuine and valid concerns about what Trudeau is doing to the country by labeling such groups as “far right,” “Nazi” and the like.

To add to the list of Trudeau problems, the Toronto Sun also recently reported that the Muslim Association of Canada, “another controversial Islamic group with ties to a terrorist organization, will receive the Trudeau government’s Canada Summer Jobs Grant.”


“Documents reveal internal debate over threat of Canadian right wing extremism”, by Stewart Bell, Global News, May 7, 2018:

For 13 years, Brad Galloway was a fixture in the world of extremism, initially with the Toronto skinhead movement and later in British Columbia as the national leader of a neo-Nazi group. But then he walked away. Ted Chernecki explains how Galloway left the hate movement for good.

Internal debate over right wing extremism arose when Public Safety Canada consulted with federal agencies on the 2017 Public Report on the Terrorist Threat to Canada.
As the first threat report since the attack at a Quebec City mosque that left six dead, officials decided to address the far right, writing in an early draft, “Add paragraph on right-wing extremism.”
But hundreds of pages of documents obtained under the Access to Information Act show the backroom discussions that occurred over basic questions about Canada’s extreme right.
Whether the far right could be categorized as a terrorist threat, its size and whether it was growing were disputed topics over the months that the report was being drafted last fall.
“Within the broader context of extremism in Canada, the number of right-wing extremists who promote or are willing to engage in politically-motivated violence is extremely small,” read an emailed contribution to the report that appears to have been written by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
But while Public Safety Canada initially included the statement in the report, it was later changed from “extremely small” to “quite small,” and then cut altogether.
