No imminent threat of attack in Canada following Australia shooting: CSIS
CSIS highlights increased antisemitic violence and the risk of lone-actor attacks targeting Jewish communities and holiday events in Canada during 2025, despite no specific threat identified.
- On Dec. 15, 2025, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service's Integrated Threat Assessment Centre said a violent extremist attack in Canada, including targeting Jewish communities, remains a realistic possibility but no imminent threat exists for the 2025 holiday season.
- After the Bondi Beach massacre, at least 15 were killed and 38 wounded at a Bondi Beach Hanukkah event, with Australian police saying the father-and-son suspects pledged allegiance to Daesh / ISIS.
- CSIS cautions that it cannot discount a lone actor or small extremist cells using readily available weapons, and holiday events including Hanukkah celebrations will likely remain aspirational targets amid online violent rhetoric.
- With Parliament debating bill C-9, some Canadian police forces said they will strengthen presence in Jewish communities, while Prime Minister Mark Carney urged more support.
- Amid growing incidents, Jewish communities in Canada face rising violence in recent years, including firebombings at synagogues in Vancouver and Montreal, defacement of the National Holocaust Monument, a kosher section stabbing, a 2024 Toronto Jewish girls' school shooting, and the October Manchester synagogue rampage.
