Canadian opposition party leader Jagmeet Singh has strongly condemned the far-right, white supremacist group Proud Boys, calling on the government to ban the organisation and designate them a terror group following their involvement in the storming of the US Capitol.
Head of the left-wing New Democratic Party (NDP), the fourth-largest in terms of seats in Canada’s House of Commons, Mr Singh called on the Justin Trudeau-led government to act with urgency and dismantle the group that, though US-based, also has roots in Canada.
“We must act urgently to stop the outbreaks of hate here in Canada by banning and designating the Proud Boys as a terrorist organisation”, Mr Singh said in a statement. He added that “hate knows no boundaries” and that action should be taken before Canada sees a similar incident to what occurred in Washington on Wednesday.
The NDP has also launched a public petition to designate the Proud Boys a terror group and put a ban on its activities.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel well here we are, other countries see us as incompetent to act on behalf of our own laws. There goes our credibility. Next you will have those behind 911 calling for punishment of our domestic terrorism.

'Trump calls out BLM as terrorists. He considers his mob to be freedom fighters. The shit Trump is trying to pull off is evidence he has absolutely no presidential timber. Some of you supporters still support him despite the fact that he scorched this country because hate was part of his leadership style, and he is so mentally deficient that he lied to the country about the pandemic for weeks. Trump has so much blood on his hands but he does not care because he is just selfish.

He lack complete empathy/compassion for others. This is one core aspect of his profound disordered personality!
