The 17-year-old boy is accused of fatally stabbing a woman in February.

Incel, short for "involuntarily celibate," is an online subculture focused on members' perceived inability to find romantic or sexual partners.

A 2018 attack in Toronto that killed 10 was also allegedly inspired by the ideology, but the accused in that case was not charged with terrorism.

"Terrorism comes in many forms and it's important to note that it is not restricted to any particular group, religion or ideology," said the RCMP.
