A man from Prince Edward Island has pleaded not guilty to what police have called the first terrorism charges ever laid in Atlantic Canada.
Daniel Desmond Crowder of North Rustico is facing two charges in connection with 3D-printed firearms and issuing online threats.
The charges, laid by the RCMP in November 2025, include:
Crowder was not in court Tuesday, but his lawyer entered not guilty pleas to the charges on his behalf.
He also pleaded not guilty to other charges related to manufacturing firearms, weapons possession and uttering threats related to evidence found when police executed a search warrant at a home in central P.E.I. in February 2025.

How rare is the kind of terrorism peace bond placed on a North Rustico man? ‘Not common’
Before his arrest on the terrorism charges last November, Crowder had been under a one-year terrorism peace bond that took effect in August 2025.
The bond, a tool rarely used in Atlantic Canada, is one of the measures police said they used to keep the community safe during the investigation.
Crowder remains in custody and will appear in court again in the coming months.
