Canada labels far-right group PROUD BOYS as a terrorist entity beside Isis. Why hasn't America done the same?

All over the internet. Will America follow? I wonder

Interesting, there's a Proud Boys' Girls group too. Never heard of them but not surprised.

Oh, they're said to have played a crucial part in the Capitol riots in the US.

I'm sure there's lots of things Canada have done that the US haven't.

As a PP said there are a lot of things Canada does that America doesn't but then again a lot of the social media outcry of the cages for children will be downplayed with different terminology and not getting their outrage pron from twitter now Biden has reintroduced them

As an aside, if i recall wasn't it Parlour being restricted because it was seen as the route of the Capitol Hill riots, when in fact data shows it was all being done on Twitter/Facebook.

This is a case of the perminantly online offended group having to live with Biden being nothing but a different shade of tie of Bush, this is what 'you' voted for, so much so that even the comical meme of Space Force has the backing of Biden.

In effect, it's arguably it's an elevation in status for them, and as much as a virtue signal as Trump designating Antifa as a terrorist group was for rightoids.

Step away from always online.

"There is no provision in U.S. federal law to identify and criminalize domestic groups as terrorist, a legal issue complicated by First Amendment free speech guarantees.

In 2018, the FBI designated the Proud Boys as an extremist group with ties to white nationalism — a categorization that first came to light through an internal report that was obtained from law enforcement in Washington state.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has classified the Proud Boys as a hate group, sparking a 2019 defamation lawsuit by Gavin McInnes, who founded the far-right organization in 2016."
