Calling It Terror: On recent attacks in Southern Ontario

Unfortunately, the word “terrorism” has been getting thrown around a lot in Ontario these past few months. Two attacks in Toronto, the van attack on April 23, 2018 and the Danforth shooting on July 22, have both been talked about as terrorism, though each by different people and for different reasons. It's also a word that's been applied to anarchists in Hamilton and to antifascists across the region in an attempt to delegitimize combative approaches to struggle.
