in June 2017 and later convicted of leaving the country for the purpose of joining a terror group, and assaults with a golf club and a butcher knife, and carrying an archery bow.
Ontario Superior Court Judge Maureen Forestell said in handing down the sentence that Dughmosh's mental illness, believed to be schizophrenia,

Dughmosh had attempted to fly to Syria in April 2016 to join the IS group, and when that failed returned home and plotted the attack.
Her plans to go to Syria were thwarted by

The court heard that Dughmosh admitted to pledging her allegiance to the Islamic State group, and on the day in question packed bags with weapons, including a hammer, barbecue skewers, straws tipped with screws and a child's shovel made into claws.
She also hid the knife and bow in her robe.
But on her way out of her apartment, she ran into her estranged husband, who confiscated the bags. He reportedly did not know about the concealed weapons.
At the Canadian Tire store east of Toronto, Dughmosh grabbed a golf club off a rack after trying unsuccessfully to access arrows in a locked display case.
She then draped herself in a homemade IS banner, tied an IS bandana around her head and charged staff with the golf club and butcher knife, shouting: "This is for ISIS."
Staff wrestled her to the ground and nobody was maimed.
Police later found the weapons cache at her home, along with a cellphone containing IS propaganda videos and a handwritten will in which she asked for martyrdom.
