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.

(1,644 posts)They're another white supremacist group trying to set up shop here under the guise of 'helping communities'.
They did so in Sault Ste Marie, 'patrolling' along the edges of the Ojibwe reserve where they would just 'happen' to find dirty needles and crap...which they were sure to broadcast on their facebook page in attempts to slander the natives there.
The reserve itself is well off, no different from the rest of the Sault, (you can't tell the difference if you didn't know where you were) but the local population of mostly Italians there don't like the natives, and are pretty bigoted and self-serving. Hence the white supremacist idiots trying to stir up trouble.
How do I know this? I lived there for 8 years.
Sons or soldiers, I think they go by both names.
