WINNIPEG – A Winnipeg man arrested on the suspicion he may carry out terrorist activities has been granted bail.
Aaron Daniel Driver, 23, is not facing any criminal charges but the RCMP is seeking a peace bond which would restrict his activities.
The court has yet to rule on the peace bond, but in the meantime Driver was released Friday with a long list of conditions. He also posted a $5,000 surety along with $1,500 posted by a woman who lives in the same Charleswood house as Driver.
Officers from the RCMP’s national security section raided the home and arrested Driver June 4th. The Crown asserted Driver may engage in terrorism or help a terrorist group.

Court documents show there are 25 conditions he has to meet including wearing a GPS electronic monitoring device at all times, stay at his Carlotta Crescent home and follow a curfew from 9 pm to 6 am.
He is also not allowed to have a computer of any form or use any social media sites including Facebook and Twitter.
Published reports have said Driver posted messages on social media that praised terrorist activities, including the attack last October on Parliament Hill by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau.
Driver is also not allowed to have anything with an ISIS or ISIL logo on it or items with the words Islamic State of Iraq and Syria or Al Qaida.
He also has to take part in religious counselling.
People who refuse to agree to the terms or who violate them can be jailed for up to one year.
