Muslim Brotherhood-linked networks embedded across Canadian institutions, new report alleges
- The Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy released a 200-page report alleging Muslim Brotherhood-aligned networks operate a coordinated transnational strategy across Canadian universities, charities, student groups and political channels.
- According to ISGAP, these networks operate through four mutually reinforcing domains: narrative development, institutional embedding, political mobilization, and 'legal framework manipulation,' each reinforcing the others to advance long-term ideological entrenchment.
- Universities including the University of Toronto have become central nodes for ideological influence, with Qatari-linked research funding at the University of Waterloo exceeding C$3.8 million across projects in solar energy and secure communications.
- A 2025 review by Canada's National Security and Intelligence Review Agency identified risks of bias in Canada Revenue Agency audit-selection processes, complicating regulatory oversight of Muslim charities amid competing concerns about discrimination.
- Dr. Charles Asher Small, Executive Director of ISGAP, urged a coordinated national response based on transparency and institutional due diligence to protect Canadian democracy from foreign influence and ideological entryism.
