(Global News) Canada is experiencing a “concerning increase” in extremism but does not need to raise its terrorism threat level, according to CSIS.
Despite a series of attacks and disrupted plots, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service said the threat level would remain at “medium.”
CSIS Director Daniel Rogers approved the decision last Thursday, a spokesperson for the intelligence agency said in a statement to Global News.
“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.
CSIS released its statement in response to a Global News story about mounting terrorism arrests across Canada, many related to ISIS.
