Terrorism in canada Legislation, Law Enforcement, and Border Security: Canada’s strict privacy laws continued to limit counterterrorism-related intelligence sharing among Canada’s law enforcement agencies, and between Canada and other countries, including the United States. Although Canada’s Criminal Code includes sections on terrorist activities, prosecutors have limited their pursuit of charges under these statutes because the legal bar is high and cases have raised complex questions of potentially overlapping offenses. Prosecutors typically choose to pursue more-straightforward charges against those suspected of terrorist activities (e.g., murder), a trend that continued in 2021. Canada continued to resist repatriation of FTFs and their family members from Syria, asserting it was unable to send staff to assist owing to the security situation within Syria. In 2021, former U.S. diplomat Peter Galbraith facilitated the return to Canada of a woman and her minor daughter from a camp for displaced persons affiliated with ISIS in Syria via Iraq. Galbraith said his effort was a private initiative; the Canadian government indicated it was not involved in the pair’s exit from Syria.
Terrorism in canada Countering the Financing of Terrorism: Canada is a member of FATF and the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering. Canada’s FIU, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre (known as FINTRAC), is a member of the Egmont Group. On June 1 2021 , several amendments to regulations under Canada’s Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act entered into force, significantly overhauling Canada’s related regulatory landscape and closing gaps in the existing framework, such as those stemming from technological advances (e.g., cryptocurrencies). Countering Violent Extremism: The Canada Centre for Community Engagement and Prevention of Violence continued its work to develop related policy and on partner/stakeholder engagement and coordination, research, and programming. It also administered the Community Resilience Fund, a grants and contributions program that provides financial support to organizations working to improve Canada’s understanding of — and capacity to prevent and counter — violent extremism. In 2021, Canada continued its financial support to and was a board member of the Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund, a multilateral organization that funds local programs to prevent and counter violent extremism.

Canada | Dominion of Canada Canada is a land of vast distances and rich natural resources; it became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. In 1982, Canada entirely broke from its colonial past; it transferred the country's highest law, the British North America Act (which was renamed the Constitution Act, 1867), from the British Parliament's authority to Canada's federal and provincial legislatures. Economically and technologically, Canada has developed in parallel with the US. The country faces the political challenges of meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care, education, social services, and economic competitiveness and responding to the particular concerns of predominantly francophone Quebec. Canada also aims to develop its diverse energy resources while maintaining its commitment to the environment. Canada ranked 13th in the United Nations Human Development Index for 2019. The country ranked 11th in the UN World Happiness Report 2019 .
