CSIS says a small group uses Canadian institutions to raise funds and promote violence, while no CBKE-related attacks were recorded in 2025.
- On Friday, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service tabled a report in Parliament identifying a small group of Canada-based Khalistani extremists as an ongoing national security threat to Canada and its interests.
- While the agency noted no CBKE-related attacks occurred in 2025, the report highlighted the 40th anniversary of Air India Flight 182's bombing, which killed 329 people and remains the "deadliest terrorist attack" in Canadian history.
- Some extremists leverage Canadian institutions to collect funds for violent activities, though CSIS clarified that "non-violent advocacy for an independent state of Khalistan is not considered extremism."
- During his March meeting with Mark Carney, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged action against these elements, emphasizing that "terrorism, extremism, and radicalisation are grave challenges faced not only by our two countries but by all of humanity."
- CSIS Director Dan Rogers placed foreign interference high on the threat list, identifying China, India, Russia, Iran, and Pakistan as states actively engaged in espionage and interference activities within Canada.
