Canadian lawmakers vote to label Proud Boys a terrorist organization

[JonLP24]

The Canadian House of Commons has passed legislation that calls for classifying the far-right Proud Boys group as a terrorist organization.

The measure passed the legislature's lower chamber by an unanimous margin on Monday.

According to Global News, the motion urges the Canadian government to "use all available tools to address the proliferation of white supremacists and hate groups starting with the immediately designating the Proud Boys as a terrorist entity."

The motion was reportedly introduced by Member of Parliament Jagmeet Singh, who is also the head of the country's New Democratic Party (NPD), which has reportedly pushed for the designation in recent weeks.
