Canada has designated the far-right group Proud Boys as a terrorist entity.
Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said the decision was influenced by the group's "pivotal role" in the 6 January riots at the Capitol in Washington, DC.
The designation allows the Proud Boys' assets to be frozen, and members of the groups could be charged with terrorist offences if they commit violent acts.
The group is all-male and anti-immigrant, and has a history of violent political confrontations.
It was founded in 2016 by Gavin McInnes, the Canadian co-founder of Vice Media. Vice has since worked to distance itself from Mr McInnes and the Proud Boys
Meanwhile, jackasses near you on Newsmax:
Tell us CANADA, Is ANTIFA a TERRORIST ENTITY, is BLACK LIVES MATTER a TERRORIST ENTITY? Butt out of America, and worry about Canada.
It was founded in Canada, and they are freezing assets in Canada.
in canada they will now make it illegal to be a traditional masculine male.
whereby, you get the soy boy they have as a "leader".
Nothing stops you from being "rugged", unless being a masculine male means assaulting people.
Proud boys are great! Canada need to stick to there own problems. But out! Don't see any proud boys in your country. Canada has a lack of testosterone.
Illiteracy is strong with supporters of the Proud Boys, as well as ignorance.
Well the Canadians are still having to deal with Trump's Meng extradition warrant which is increasingly looking more like a bargaining chip. That is international extortion Trump! Soon the Canadians will request extradition of American Proud Boys on anti-terrorism charges and the US will have to try them. This is what happens when Americans subscribe to Russian propaganda.
Illucid.
Trump supporters are now officially terrorists . .
I don't think he meant to admit that Trump supporters support the Proud Boys, but that's what he did.
Hey Canada, stick to what you do best...playing Hockey. Otherwise, can it. By the way, did you designate Antifa a terrorist group?
Fundamental misunderstanding. "Antifa" is not an organization with assets to freeze. They don't hold group meetings. They don't have leadership or spokespeople.
Its been taken over by Muslims and sla nt "I's"
Most likely a closet Proud Boy, doing what they do best.
