Secure Canada
Founded by Victims Powered by Experts
Founded by families of Canadian 9/11 victims, Secure Canada (formerly the Canadian Coalition Against Terror) is powered by a specialized international network of counter-extremism experts, lawyers, policy analysts, and government relations professionals. ​
OUR MISSION is to combat extremism, terrorism, and related threats by creating innovative laws, policies, and alliances that strengthen Canada's national security and democracy.
OUR VISION for Canada is to be a shining example of democracy, human rights, safety, and freedom—a global model for liberal democracies and a nation where all peace-loving Canadians can live, contribute, and thrive.
Our Objectives
Protect Canada's National Security
Develop innovative legal frameworks, policies, and alliances to counter terrorism, extremism, antisemitism, and their causes; addressing threats such as foreign hostage taking, glorification of terrorism, returning foreign fighters, and other pressing issues that jeopardize our safety, sovereignty, and democracy.
Support Victims
of Terrorism
Advocate for the rights of victims of terror through cutting-edge legislative initiatives and lawsuits under our landmark legislation, the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act (JVTA), which allows Canadian victims of terrorism and their families to sue state and non-state sponsors of terrorism.
Educate and Mobilize Communities
​Raise awareness in the broader Canadian public about the pressing threat of extremist ideologies. Engage the community in the fight for against extremism and the protection of democracy, fostering a culture of resilience.
​
At Secure Canada, we are dedicated to safeguarding our nation against the evolving threats of extremism and terrorism. Our cutting-edge legal initiatives, policies, and strategic alliances will strengthen Canada’s national security, resilience, and foundational values.
​
For the first time in our organization's history, we are now working on measures to combat antisemitism, which has proven to be a common thread for all extremist movements and a strategic tool for recruitment into and promotion of violent ideologies.
"The loose threads of extremism coalesce around the 'triple threat' to our liberal secular democracy, fuelled by actors on the far left, far right, and Islamists. The frontline, the threat threat that they can all bind themselves together with, is their antisemitism." ​​
