On Friday, Canada updated its list of terrorist entities by adding a group linked to the Islamic State, two groups espousing white supremacist ideology, and an American neo-Nazi.
The “ISIS in the Democratic Republic of the Congo”, the “Three Percentages” and “Arian Strikeforce” groups, and the American, James Mason, was added to the list of terrorism, which already includes 73 entities.
Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said in a statement that “intolerance and hatred have no place in our society, and the Government of Canada will continue to do everything in its power to protect Canadians from all threats, including terrorism and violent extremism.”
Canada began imposing sanctions on far-right organizations following a series of attacks, including the killing of six Muslim worshipers at a Quebec mosque in 2017, and an attack in Toronto the following year.
