In February 2020, Oguzhan Sert, armed with a sword, traveled to a Toronto massage parlour. Within moments, 24-year-old Crown Spa receptionist Ashley Noelle Arzaga was dead. But this wasn’t just a horrific murder. In a groundbreaking move, the killing was deemed an act of terror, marking the first time in Canada that 'incel' ideology was prosecuted as terrorism.
