Perhaps not strictly terrorism, but terrifying nonetheless on a variety of levels ...

Rape is weaponized in war. It’s happened repeatedly throughout history. This is, in my mind, terrorism.

Some cultures don't integrate with western societies on a mass scale. UK is a perfect example of this, Canada better take note.

Canadian politicians (the ones that are in power anyway) don't care...
The Palestinians are a good example.
They hold massive marches down busy streets, or march through the streets setting a few buildings on fire. They take over mass transit hubs.
They literally call for death to Canada (among others)
And even though Canada, the UK, France, etc have all clearly expressed a strong disapproval over Israeli tactics in Gaza, the Palestinian refugees still take to the streets to protest the situation that's happening there.
Are their bank accounts frozen? Arrested with more force than necessary? Trampled by horses? Are they even given a violation ticket? Nope

Trudeau and Carney have both made it very clear they intend to follow through on the WEF's vision of our country, and that requires approx 1.4 million people to immigrate here annually...
We are just now at the 6 month mark of 2025, and we've already brought in over 800,000 people. (I'm not sure if they are bothering to count TFW's yet...as of a year ago they weren't...)
Canada absolutely takes note. The Canadian politicians currently in power don't seem to give a frig. All part of the plan.

Worth discussing, but not exactly attacks or actions "undertaken ... for a political, religious or ideological purpose, that is intended to intimidate the public with regard to its security," so worth its own thread for discussion re: what's being done or not done about the situation.

It's a horrible warning about not going overboard with multiculturalism and cultural accommodation, and instead ensuring satisfactory assimilation of immigrants socially and politically. We have some admirable values and ought to assert them. That we have some reprehensible values does not detract from the admirable ones. The cultural relativists need to be reminded that some ways are relatively and overwhelmingly superior to others.

Immigration: What are the government's plans and the challenges?
The government has outlined plans to "significantly" cut immigration - what are the challenges it faces?

I'm sorry for the language here (I'll self censor)
But what the actual f**k??
Seriously. What...the actual...f**k...??
To say an absolute, real shame on the authorities that chose to ignore the victims (or worse yet, actually arrested some victims) and used their positions of power to sweep these crimes under the rug...for DECADES...
I'm speechless. This is downright f**king disgraceful in the realest of ways.

Even worse, Starmer was involved and knows alot about the problem it seems...
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE UK GROOMING GANGS SCANDAL?
A report in 2014, opens new tab made a conservative estimate that more than 1,400 girls were sexually exploited in the town of Rotherham between 1997 and 2013. Many were already known to local services because they were in care or had been subject to neglect.It said girls as young as 11 were raped by large numbers of male perpetrators. It said local officials deemed the children to be having consensual sexual intercourse.
The report said the majority of known perpetrators were of Pakistani heritage and that in some cases local officials and other agencies had been wary of identifying ethnic origins for fear of upsetting community cohesion, or being seen as racist.
An investigation into similar cases in Oldham, opens new tab criticised police and the local council but said they had not discovered a cover up.
WHAT WAS KEIR STARMER'S ROLE?
Starmer was the director of public prosecutions between 2008 and 2013.Starmer said on Monday that he had tackled the issue head on, brought the first major prosecution of a gang accused of grooming and rape, and had the highest number of child sexual abuse cases being prosecuted when he left the role.

You are all fooling yourselves if you don't think similar things are not happening here. How many missing First Nations women have disappeared and then been trafficked in the sex trade, with police departments just labelling them as runaways? How many TFWs are brought in to Canada, to be exploited by human traffickers, forced in to servitude or again the sex trade and can't do anything because their passports are taken from them and their families back home are threatened?
And lets not forget that those of us who look like our ancestors come from Western European countries, aka whites, have been guilty of using sexual assault as a weapon in conflict (to the winners go the spoils).

There are at least four levels to consider.
1. The authorities don't investigate diligently enough.
2. The authorities investigate diligently, but it's difficult to find things out and more difficult to build cases.
3. The authorities know and do nothing.
4. The authorities know, do nothing, and in fact hinder those working at (1) and (2).
You accuse us of being at (1), leaning into (2). Britain is at (4). Don't try to play the "we're equally bad here" game.
same problems in both Sweden and Denmark that I know of. Police in Denmark were told to layoff because they were focusing their attention on the young Muslim community and the courts deemed it to be stereotyping even though a large percentage of proven cases involved Muslim youth

Is it a issue in Canada? Yes. Is it anywhere near as big a issue as it has gotten in some European countries? No.
As to the ‘look like our ancestors’ comment, literally every ethnic group in history has at some point used rape as a weapon.
The difference is some ethnic groups (mainly Western Europeans) have acknowledged it as wrong and taken steps to end the practice. Does that mean in the past it didn’t happen? No of course it did, but ending terrible practices have to start somewhere. Much like ending slavery which was commonplace the world over, at some point someone had to be the turning point and say this is wrong and we cannot tolerate it.

Sweden and Denmark will have to sort that out, not Canada.
I was already aware of the problem, and already aware that Sweden (at least) has begun taking notice and some action. Europe's problem is more pronounced because some countries have, or had, generous immigration policies with respect to Muslim parts of Africa and west Asia, and movement of people within the EU is relatively easier.
How countries so dedicated to the proposition of the political and social equality of people irrespective of gender and ethnicity came to this pass demands answers, which undoubtedly lie in the political and social priors of people who occupy positions demanding neutral application of viewpoint and fail to do so.
Some politicians and people employed in government want to punish colonial countries for colonialism and other failings or to assert their ethnic values in their adopted countries, and use their position to do so, necessarily violating liberal principles of governance, and particularly rule of law.

I can't agree that we "encouraged certain groups" other than the wealthy people who were given special conditions they could meet to gain admittance, or the people capable of scoring high on points-based immigration criteria. And I still see it being harder in Canada for a blind eye to be turned. If we have a weak point (and it exists mainly beyond politicians and government agencies), it's some level of tolerance for discord against the government of Israel that slides over into outright anti-Jewish discrimination and violence (but nowhere near the same level of tolerance as in the US or many parts of Europe). No opinion of the rights of Palestinians justifies treating any Jewish or merely Jewish-looking/sounding person as a proxy for the government of Israel, and leaders and senior staff of all institutions of Canada ought to act decisively to curb it and sanction those responsible.
People who comfortably exercise severely illiberal values have to be brought up short, and the main barrier to remove is the perception that members of a historically oppressed community get some kind of pass. It's a duty for more than the lawful authorities to exercise, but I want the lawful authorities to take charge because the alternative is vigilantism. "Upright citizens" beating the stuffing out of people who think they can approximately treat women as property in Canada would be satisfying, but that would go awry quickly.
