Canada adds 13 groups to terror list — what does it mean?

About this episode

The federal government has added 13 groups to its list of terror groups, including five ISIS affiliates, and a handful of far right extremist groups, including the Proud Boys. The move comes after parliament voted to call on the government to add the Proud Boys to the list in the wake of its involvement in the Jan. 6 events at the U.S. Capitol. But what does the terror designation actually do? Former CSIS terrorism analyst Phil Gurski joins Dave to discuss the purpose of Canada’s terror group list, where it can be helpful in dealing with extremist groups, but where politics can muddy the process. Background reading: Gurski: Listing the Proud Boys as a 'terrorist entity' is mostly about politics Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
