Show Notes
In February of 2020, a 17 year old boy walked into the doors of a Toronto spa wielding a sword where he brutally attacked members of staff, killing the receptionist. In a court proceeding carried out on Wednesday, he plead guilty to the charges, stating that he was inspired by the Toronto van attack that was carried out by Alek Minassian in 2018, and cited an 'incel rebellion.' Can this be considered an act of domestic terrorism, or is this too difficult to label? To tell us about this case is Jessica Davis, a former CSIS senior intelligence analyst and President of Insight Threat Intelligence.
