In 2021 Canada designated the Proud Boys as a terrorist entity

From:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55923485

"Canada has designated the far-right group Proud Boys as a terrorist entity.

Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said the decision was influenced by the group's "pivotal role" in the 6 January riots at the Capitol in Washington, DC.

The designation allows the Proud Boys' assets to be frozen, and members of the groups could be charged with terrorist offences if they commit violent acts."
