In 2020, CSIS recorded 110 domestic extremist attacks. Of those, two thirds were from the far right, about a quarter from the far left, and the remainder were driven by religious or “ethnonationalist” causes.

I highly doubt the leftist attacks warrant a terrorism stamp since most of them are against property, not people. But then again, in the US of A, property is worth more than people.

Apparently the same document classifies tax evasion as literal "paper terrorism". lol, you can't even make that up :D
