I love our Public Safety Minister. Fingers crossed this happens.


OTTAWA -- 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.

“We're very mindful of ideologically-motivated violent extremists, including groups like the Proud Boys. They are white supremacists, anti-Semitics, Islamophobic, misogynist groups. They're all hateful, they're all dangerous,” Blair said. “We're working very diligently to ensure that where the evidence is available, where we have the intelligence, that we’ll deal appropriately with those organizations.”

6. Declare them ALL domestic terrorists. Not just the PB. The booger boys too.

All the militias as well. Their whole purpose is to overthrow the government. They need to finally be treated as such. They can't hide behind their whiteness anymore.

7. I would not advise any NATO Country to allow entry to any grp or person that participated in a coup

attempt (violent) of a member state. It would be helpful if they did not.
