TORONTO - Five years ago, after a man deliberately drove a van down a busy Toronto sidewalk in one of Canada’s worst mass murders, the country was confronted with a previously obscure extremist movement, which experts say remains a growing threat.
Arie Perliger, the director of security studies at the University of Massachusetts - Lowell, said law enforcement agencies now see incels and groups with misogynist ideology as a rising concern.Canada has not seen a wave of incel-inspired violence since Minassian perpetrated the deadliest attack in Toronto’s history, but isolated cases have occurred.
Perliger, who co-wrote a study on extremist misogyny for the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism this year, said the threat extends beyond incels and includes various groups that use anti-women ideology to radicalize men. Perliger cited The Proud Boys – a far-right extremist group whose members participated in the January 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol – as an example of an organization that recruits through misogyny.
“A lot of the measures that we might have to try to interdict an act of violence, like tracking group activity, finding where they meet, looking at finances, communication, those might not be there,” he said.
