A Canadian court classified facilitation as a substantial security threat.

Evidence

‘The combination of the factors leads to a situation whereby Mr. Almrei, even if he personally has no intention of committing a direct act of violence in Canada, has the potential to facilitate the movement of others who also harbour such beliefs and ideals and to position them to perpetrate violence on foreign and Canadian soil. This threat is substantial and it is serious.’ — Sherene Razack, Casting Out, 119

Categorization

• DEFINE: The passage demonstrates how the security framework redefines ‘threat’ to include mere facilitation potential rather than intent.
