The three types of terrorist organizations in Canada are ethnic separatist and emigre groups; left-wing radical organization; and right-wing racist, anti-authority, single-issue groups. Canada has a low threat of domestic or international terrorism partly because its methods of exchanging intelligence nationally and internationally has resulted in preemptive measures and the successful prosecution of individuals associated with terrorist organizations. International terrorism is changing and now includes state-sponsored terrorism, faction-sponsored terrorism, issue-motivated terrorism, and crime-related terrorism. Tomorrow's most dangerous terrorists will be motivated by ethnic and religious hatreds rather than political ideology. The changing nature of terrorism indicates the continuing need for modifications of strategic and tactical approaches to dealing with it. Footnotes
