Over the last half-century, numerous acts of terrorism have been committed on Canadian soil. Assassinations, kidnappings, sabotage, and other deeds have taken place in the name of one cause or another. They have spanned from one end of the country to the other, whether they were bombings in the big cities or terrorist training camps in the countryside. Many of them have been overlooked or forgotten, though they changed countless lives.


From nationalism to eco-terrorism to anarchism, this book explores a gritty history of a nation that prides itself on peacefulness. The historical characteristics of terrorism in Canada are explored. This work also reviews the nation’s response to terrorism through its laws, law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and national planning.
