The Rebel, by MARISSA SEMKIW, June 5, 2015:
Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced new measures aimed at safeguarding Canada by thwarting Islamic terrorism here at home.
The Prime Minister has been tough on terrorism, but I’d argue his measures should go one step further.
Millions of dollars of foreign extremist money flows into Canada to fuel extremism and social segregation here at home, and the Canada Revenue Agency has no way of tracking it.
This isn’t money that is funding terrorism directly, but rather funds that foster an environment susceptible to terrorism.
I accept that there are no easy answers here, but this is an issue that all Canadian society must accept is happening, and confront.
