A separate 2018 attack in Toronto inspired by the incel movement killed 11 people. A judge has found that a deadly 2020 attack on a Toronto massage parlour was an act of terror inspired by the incel movement, Canadian media report. It marks the first time an incel-related incident has been deemed a terror offence in Canada, prosecutors say. Incel is an online subculture focused on members’ perceived inability to find romantic or sexual partners. The killer pleaded guilty to murder in 2022 and is now awaiting sentencing. The man, who can not be named due to his age at the time of the attack, had said he had been inspired by an incel – short for “involuntarily celibate”- attacker who drove a van into a crowd in Toronto in 2018, according to broadcaster CBC. The killer, now 20, was 17 years old at the time of the attack. CCTV shows how he entered the massage parlour in the North York neighbourhood and stabbed receptionist Ashley Arzaga multiple times before being disarmed by another woman. Authorities have said police discovered evidence the attack was motivated by the incel ideology during their investigation.
