Nice.

Edit: @KhainiWest; lol, from that article:
-'October 2008 to July 2009 - Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Six natural gas pipelines owned by Encana Corp. were bombed after letters were sent to a local newspaper opposing the gas industry.' The nature activists have my approval.
-April 9, 1989 - Charles Yacoub hijacks a bus and drives it to Parliament Hill to protest the Syrian invasion of Lebanon so he jacks a bus.

I mean I know there's more serious ones than that but still, not something that would make our news (or anyone else's besides Canada's). I have a friend in New Zealand that heard about this Boston issue before I did..

Also, the length in comparison:

The canadian list is longer when it comes to Domestic Terrorism. Not to mention that the crime rate between our two countries are statistically almost identical. What skew's them is how the courts describe specific laws, they differ between our two countries.

By the way, Nigeria, is very modern, it even hosts the United States embassy, yet is top 5 in the most dangerous places in Africa, not sure on Earth.
