ISGAP Report Alleges 344 Candidate Endorsements Tied to Muslim Brotherhood Networks in Canada

Summary
A roughly 200-page ISGAP report says Muslim Brotherhood-aligned networks have gained institutional access across Canadian civil society, higher education, electoral politics and democratic bodies, framing the issue as a broader risk to Western democracies.
The report points to the Muslim Association of Canada as a key example, alleging numerous direct or indirect links to the Brotherhood and warning those ties can translate into legitimacy, public funding, political influence and reduced scrutiny.
ISGAP also highlights a coordinated 2025 "Vote Palestine" effort that won endorsements from 344 candidates across four Canadian parties, presenting it as evidence that aligned groups can influence the election system.
The Muslim Association of Canada rejected the findings as Islamophobic and unsubstantiated, saying a 2023 Canada Revenue Agency audit ended without revoking its charitable status and that preliminary Brotherhood-link questions were dropped.
Charles A. Small said the findings should serve as a warning for the U.S. as Washington has already tightened pressure on Brotherhood-linked actors, including Treasury designations in January and sanctions in July.
