RCMP killing of ISIS sympathizer

RCMP killing of ISIS sympathizer

Police say Driver was on a peace bond after tweeting messages that were supportive of ISIS. Two Concordia experts can provide perspective on some of the factors that explain how ISIS recruits sympathizers in countries such as Canada.
