The Canadian federal government is considering naming the largely far-right extremist group Proud Boys a terrorist organization, the office of the Public Safety Minister Bill Blair told Global News.

Mary-Liz Power, a spokesperson for Public Safety Minister Bill Blair told Global News the national security and law-enforcement agencies are "very actively engaged in monitoring the activities of these groups, and gathering the evidence required to support a determination of listing as a Terrorist Organization."

"As Minister Blair has said, we strongly denounce 'ideologically motivated extremists including groups like the Proud Boys, white supremacists, anti-Semitics, Islamophobic and misogynist groups,'" Power told Global News. "Intolerance and hate have no place in our society."

If the Canadian government does declare the international all-male and mostly right-wing organization a terrorist group, it will join a list that includes the Taliban, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and the Islamic State, according to Global News.

But the time for polite consideration is over. Name them as a terrorist organization, and let's get busy Geronimo-ing the whole lot of them...
