Why declaring Proud Boys a terror group is the wrong approach
About this episode
After members showed up at the Capitol Hill riot in Washington D.C. on Jan. 6, the far-right group the Proud Boys have caught the attention of politicians in Canada.
Members of parliament passed a motion on Jan. 25 calling on the government to declare the Proud Boys a terrorist entity.
But some wonder whether it’s the right approach to crack down on such groups.
Freelance investigative journalist Justin Ling, who has spent years investigating extremist groups, joins Dave to discuss the motivation behind the motion, why the move is problematic, and what a better approach could be to deal with the Proud Boys and others.
