This incident coincides with heightened global terror alerts. A recent U.K. travel advisory highlighted a “very likely” terror threat in Canada, a stark contrast to Canada’s current ‘medium’ level threat assessment, which has been in place since 2014.
In a recent House of Commons session, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to questions from opposition leader Pierre Poilievre regarding the differing terror threat levels. Trudeau stressed the ongoing efforts of Canadian security agencies to assess and address national safety concerns.
The possibility of a terror link to the Rainbow Bridge explosion is under scrutiny, especially in light of the U.K.’s advisory. As the situation develops, more information is expected to be released, providing clarity on the circumstances of this incident.
