Bill Blair, the Canadian Minister of Public Security, has announced this week the inclusion of 13 new groups in the list of terrorist entities in the country. Blair signaled at a press conference that this constitutes “an important step in the fight against extremist violence in all its forms”. “The Canadian Governor will continue to use the appropriate means to counteract the terrorist attacks in Canada, its citizens and its interests around the world,” he said. Four of these organizations – one of the Proud Boys – are associated with white supremacy; las otras nueve son de corte yihadista.
The Canadian Parliament voted on January 25 to move Justin Trudeau’s Governor to the Proud Boys’ list. The initiative, presented by Jagmeet Singh, leader of the New Democratic Party, received the unanimous support of the political forces. Singh solicitaba al Gobierno utilizar “todas las herramientas available to luchar against the proliferation of white supremacistas and groups of audio, comenzando con la intermediate designation of Proud Boys as a terrorist entity”. Mr Blair emphasized the need to focus on research, and said that it was even more important today.
The pre-occupation in Canada by the Proud Boys is increasing through its participation in the United States capitulation of the last six seasons. Although his presence in the Canadian language has not been recent. In July 2017, five of its members will unveil an event convened by indigenous groups in Halifax (New Scotland). The incident led to repression in the country because these individuals belong to Ejército. Proud Boys is a group that recommends the use of violence, only accepts males in its lanes and exhibits a nationalist, misogynistic and anti-Muslim force. Describes’ n sí mismos como “Western chovinistas” que sinten hartazgo por pedir disculpas por “crear el mundo moderno”. Founded by Canadian-British Gavin McInnes in 2016, although McInnes abandoned the motion in 2018, when the FBI began to consider an extremist group with laziness with white nationalism.
The Atomwaffen Division, the Imperial Ruso Movement and The Base are the other entities of the extreme right – linked to racism and violence – including the Proud Boys in the list of Canadian Gobierno terrorist groups. “They are intolerant, expressive, and, as we have seen, can be very annoying,” Blair said. On the other hand, among the new groups of jihadist court figures are the following: the Islamic State of Bangladesh, the Front of the Liberation of China, Hizbul Mujahideen, Ansar Dine and the Islamic State of Gran Sahara.
The inclusion in the list of terrorist entities is translated, among other points, into a mayor monitoring the activities of these groups, possible criminal prosecutions against their collaborators and activists. The register of the Canadian Gobierno contains a total of 73 organizations based on the incorporations announced by these schools.
