Domestic terrorism in Canada

Domestic terrorism means when people who live in a country do bad things to hurt others in that same country. In Canada, this can mean when a person or group of people use violence or terror to try and change or control things in Canada that they do not like. They might do things like set off bombs or attack people or buildings.

It is important to remember that most people in Canada are good and kind, and that these bad people are a small group that wants to hurt others. The Canadian government has laws and rules in place to stop these bad people from doing bad things and to try and find them if they do.

If you ever see something bad or scary happening or you hear someone talking about doing something bad, it is important to tell a grown-up that you trust, like a teacher or a parent. They can help keep everyone safe.
