Canada has one of the lowest risks of terrorism in the Western world, according to a newly published report.

While at low risk, Canada does have a modern history of terrorism, beginning in the early 1960s with the Sons of Freedom, which emerged from the otherwise pacifist Doukhobor sect in British Columbia.

A very small minority of the Freedomites were noted for their arson campaigns, as a sign of their protest against materialistic life. They targeted belongings and other material possessions. The attacks occurred throughout the 20th century, but the periods of greatest activity was during the 1920s and 1960s. Both arson and bombing were used. Targets included the property of themselves and other Doukhbors to further exhibit their dislike of materialism, attacks on schools to resist government pressure to school Svobodnik children, and attacks on transportation and communications. One such incident was the bombing of a railway bridge in Nelson, British Columbia in 1961.[1] Most of these acts were committed in the nude.
