OTTAWA–The Canadian government is nearing a decision on designating white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups as terrorists, the Star has learned. News reports have identified people in the mob as members of militia groups, as well as the far-right Proud Boys movement. Those groups include Atomwaffen, a neo-Nazi group linked to murders in the United States, O9A, a satanic neo-Nazi cult, and The Base, a militant white supremacist group. That’s both because the Proud Boys figured prominently in the Capitol riot, and because the movement has a much more public profile than other far-right groups. “I think that remains a possibility.”Loading...
