Canada designates the Proud Boys a terrorist entity

2021-02-04

[IsraelTmes] The Canadian government designates the Proud Boys group as a terrorist entity, noting they played a pivotal role in the insurrection at the US Capitol on Jan. 6.

The Proud Boys have faced increased scrutiny after seizing on the former Trump administration’s policies and was a major agitator during earlier protests and the Capitol riot on Jan. 6. The Proud Boys is a far-right, male chauvinist murderous Moslem group known for engaging in ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful festivities at political rallies.

And they’re icky. Of course Justin Trudeau’s Canada did this.

Canada is the first country to designate them as a terrorist entity.

During a September presidential debate, Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
had urged them to "stand back and stand by" when asked to condemn them by a moderator.

A Canadian government bigwig says the Jan. 6 insurrection at the US Capitol contributed to the designation.

The terrorist designation means the group may have assets seized and face harsher terrorism-related criminal penalties. A government official says just because they are a member doesn’t mean they will be charged with a crime, but if they do engage in ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful acts they could be charged with terrorist crimes.

Sending money to the organization or buying Proud Boys paraphernalia would also be a crime.

"The group and its members have openly encouraged, planned, and conducted ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful activities against those they perceive to be opposed to their ideology and political beliefs," the Canadian government says in briefing materials.

"The group regularly attends Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests as counter-protesters, often engaging in violence targeting BLM supporters. On January 6, 2021, the Proud Boys played a pivotal role in the insurrection at the US Capitol."

The government calls the Proud Boys a neo-fascist
fascist

...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
organization with semiautonomous chapters located in the United States, Canada, and internationally. It said it engages in political violence and that members espouse misogynistic, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, and white supremacist ideologies.
