Ottawa is “urgently” exploring options to dissolve the not-for-profit status of Samidoun, a Vancouver-based anti-Israel advocacy group designated as a terrorist organization in Canada, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly says.
“It is completely unacceptable that any organization listed as a terrorist entity by the Government of Canada continues to exist as a federally registered not-for-profit organization,” Joly wrote on X. “I have therefore directed government officials to urgently look at any and all options to formally dissolve Samidoun as well as any and all listed terrorist entities in Canada.”
