OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada on Wednesday became the first country to call the far-right Proud Boys a terrorist entity, saying the group played a key role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol last month and openly supported violent activities.

Not much in this article and I normally wouldn't care too much about the actions of Canadian government, however...

Note that as a designated terrorist organization, Canada will now be using it's intelligence infrastructure to monitor the activities and members of the Proud Boys.

Also note, that being part of "Five Eyes", Canada will be dutifully sharing that information with the US...

And just what was the part played by the Proud Boys in the debacle of 1/6/2021?

The "Proud Boys" would do well to find some Native American from one of the Plains states and make him the organization's leader.

That will get the Canadian government off their backs immediately. In fact, it will turn the "Proud Boys" from a terrorist organization to a group of aboriginal advocates.

I say the Canadian government is a neo-fascist terrorist group, and they can go screw themselves.

You the group with an FBI informant as the head?

It's no different from the others.

This will be the start.

Trudeau has been signaling that “right wing domestic extremists” need to be dealt with. A right wing domestic extremist, to the left, is any conservative/Christian who doesn’t go along with the homosexual/transgender agenda.

It’s our start of the right being marginalized, lining up with America’s move on the right.

They’ve made not one attack or damaged any property anywhere...

But they’re a terrorist group.

Meanwhile AntiFa and BLM destroy and ravage whole cities but they’re supported by these corrupt administrations.

Disband, come up with a new name, and form under a new leader.

As far as I know (correct me if I’m wrong) the violence of the Proud Boys has pretty much been limited to fights with BLM/Antifa types, usually when one of these groups is counter-protesting the other. I’m not aware of the Proud Boys independently engaging in violence, rioting, looting, or property damage, although I vaguely remember there might have been ONE such incident in New York.

Almost anything is the far right when you’re so far to the left that nothing remains of the old extreme left that’s extreme to you anymore.

I like the inference in the title where they use “neo Fascist“. Who proved they were new fascist? Or do we just label groups now with zero proof?

The third-largest political party in Canada's Parliament today is the Bloc Quebecois, a regional party whose platform includes sovereignty for the province of Quebec.

They have an 'effing SEPARATIST POLITICAL PARTY in their own government.

Canada's government wouldn't know a terrorist group from a hockey team.
