A Toronto-area man is facing terror charges in both Canada and the United States, authorities say, for allegedly attempting to illegally enter the U.S. to carry out a mass shooting at a Jewish Centre in New York City.

Attempting to leave Canada to commit an offence for a terrorist group.
That’s an actual crime… I totally understand “intent to commit a terrorist act” being a crime but I’m baffled we have such a specific law tied to trying to leave the country. What an obscure fucking law.
This is the third arrest within a month. It’s too easy to get into Canada due the the relaxed federal immigration policies. It may be too late but we need to tighten up who we let into the country.
