This statistical representation is disingenuous. Using the total number of charges against an individual to demonstrate an increase in a terrorism threat is misleading. Many charges get dropped before prosecution, and there's an incentive to add charges to get a plea.

A trans person isn’t the one denying your health insurance claim—that’s on a massive corporation.
An asylum seeker didn’t hike your rent—that’s a billionaire’s private equity firm cashing in.

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke is calling for the end of Canada’s public postal service because its workers have gone on strike.
The company’s leaders are increasingly pushing extreme right-wing positions in Canada. Gutting Canada Post would effectively end delivery in many rural and remote communities.
