Jagmeet Singh and the Proud Boys: What is the point of 'terrorist group listings'? | Phil Gurski

In the wake of the January 6 attacks in Washington, many are calling for the Proud Boys, a white supremacist group, to be added to the 'listed terrorist entities' in Canada. What is a 'terrorist entity list' and what does it do? Borealis argues that this is an unnecessary tool that does not add much to counter terrorism efforts.

NDP calls for right-wing group Proud Boys to be banned, labelled as terrorists. The federal NDP is calling for the Proud Boys to be designated as a terrorist organization. In a tweet Thursday, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh announced a petition calling for the Proud Boys to be banned, citing their role in helping “execute” the mob attack by U.S. President Donald Trump’s supporters on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. the day before. “Yesterday was an act of domestic terrorism,” read Singh’s tweet.

Feds looking at declaring Proud Boys a terrorist organization in wake of U.S. rioting. Canada could soon be adding more extremist groups like the Proud Boys to Canada’s list of recognized terrorist organizations, in light of the pro-Trump rioting in the U.S. Capitol, according to Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair. In an interview on CTV’s Question Period, Blair said Canadian national security officials are actively gathering intelligence about groups such as the Proud Boys on an ongoing basis.
