Public Safety Minister Bill Blair announced Wednesday the addition of 13 entities to the list of terrorist organizations identified under the Criminal Code, including the Proud Boys.

“This update hopefully sends a strong message that Canada will not tolerate ideological, religious, or politically motivated acts of violence,” Blair said during a press conference.
