(Ottawa) In the aftermath of the assault on the Washington Capitol, New Democrat leader Jagmeet Singh calls on the government to designate the “Proud Boys” as a terrorist organization.

Wednesday’s events demonstrate that “it is more urgent than ever that the government immediately ban and dismantle all hate organizations operating in Canada,” because even though the seat of Congress was played out in the United States, “hate knows no borders, ”argued the leader of the NPD.

“We must act urgently to stop the outbreaks of hate here in Canada”, and the government can start to do so “by banning and designating the” Proud Boys “as a terrorist organization,” he continued by way of release.

The “Proud Boys” are white supremacists. The militia, which is active in the United States and Canada, was founded by a Canadian, Gavin McInnes. It was to them that Donald Trump said “Stand back and get ready” (Stand back and stand by) in the first debate of the presidential race.

The leader of the far-right group, Enrique Tarrio, 36, was arrested last Monday in Washington, ahead of the protest against the certification of the election of Joe Biden as the next president of the United States which has degenerated and made a victim.

Landed from Florida, was charged with destroying property of Asbury United Methodist Church, a church whose worshipers are predominantly African-American, whose banner he and others are said to have burned. He was also charged with being in possession of two illegal high capacity firearm magazines.

There are currently about sixty entities on the list of terrorist organizations in Ottawa.

Among them are groups such as Hezbollah, Daesh, Al-Qaeda and the Liberating Tigers of Tamil Eelam. There are also the neo-Nazi groups Blood & Honor and Combat 18 (C18).

In the same statement, Jagmeet Singh rebelled at how the Capitol police handled the eruption of white protesters compared to how the movement’s protests Black Lives Matter (Black Lives Matter) were put down in the same town a few months ago.

“The people who watched it all yesterday saw a stark contrast in the treatment of what happened on the Capitol. When black, racialized and Indigenous people demand justice […], they face violence and brutality, ”he argued.

“When white supremacists attempted to overthrow a democratic election with deadly weapons, they were greeted with calm and respect. The reaction of the police in Washington shows systemic racism in action, ”denounced the leader of the NDP.

We heard the same story in Wilmington, Delaware.

At a press conference in his stronghold, President-designate Joe Biden said he was convinced on Thursday that anti-racist protesters would have been treated “very differently” compared to supporters of Donald Trump who sowed chaos in Washington.

“If this had been a manifestation of the movement Black Lives Matter, they would have been treated very differently from the surly mob that attacked the Capitol. We all know this is true and it is unacceptable, ”he said.

Vice President-designate Kamala Harris echoed this, along with several members of the House of Representatives and the Senate as well as many political commentators who have appeared on various American television networks since the events of Wednesday.

I mean they planted ACTUAL bombs at the UNITED STATES CAPITOL. I'd say that's something pretty indicative of a terrorist group.

That dude live-streaming with the American flag behind him talking about how they missed their chance at revolution because the cops were poorly armed and the rioters didn’t “take it to the next level” needs to be arrested right now. Total Bin Laden vibes.
