You are quite right in saying that there's been an escalation of violence since August 2023. That's precisely what led the RCMP to hold discussions with Global Affairs Canada so we could look at all the tools available to stop that network from propagating violence.
The first step was to completely prevent the network from collecting information needed to commit acts of violence.
