Canada man charged with terror over far-right videos

5 July 2023

A man in the Canadian capital of Ottawa has been charged with alleged ties to the Atomwaffen Division, an international neo-Nazi terrorist group.

Patrick Gordon Macdonald, 26, faces terrorism and hate propaganda charges, Canada's federal police force said.

It's the first time both counts have been brought in Canada against someone accused of promoting violent far-right ideology, according to the RCMP.

Atomwaffen Division was listed by Canada as a terrorist entity in 2021.

Mr Macdonald is alleged to have participated in, produced and distributed three videos for Atomwaffen Division, promoting its ideology.

Can America guess what it is?

America wants a model?…for everything…look North, not inwards.

Are the Proud Boys listed as a terrorist entity and banned? Why not? Not enough evidence they are a terrorist organization?? What will it take, an armed insurrection?

Or is terrorism also free speech protected by idiotic court conclusions? Yes, apparently it is! An ex President spreads hate propaganda freely and magnified by media into an avalanche of hate…and the leading cable news show is…hate propaganda 100%!

If you can’t be sure Nazis deserve be to hated 100%, then what are you sure of?

Good thing nothing bad ever happens in such a democracy!
