RCMP adding incels to terrorism awareness guide | Globalnews.ca
It is the latest sign the Canadian government now views incels as a public safety threat.
The RCMP is preparing to add incels to its terrorism awareness guide.
In a statement, the police force said it categorized incel attacks as a form of violent extremism.
It also said it was in the process of amending its Terrorism and Violent Extremism Awareness Guide, which currently makes no mention of incels.
“The guide is currently being updated and will very likely include mention of incel as an example of ideologically motivated violent extremism,” the RCMP statement said.
The update to the guide is the latest sign the government now views incels as a public safety threat in the wake of attacks that have killed 11 and injured 19 in the country over the past two years.
“We are committed to countering the threats to public safety and national security posed by ideologically motivated violent extremists, such as individuals motivated by incel ideologies,” Public Safety Minister Bill Blair’s office said.
