Canada branch of far-right Proud Boys group dissolves itself

The Canadian branch of the far-right Proud Boys organisation has dissolved itself, the Reuters news agency first reported, just months after Ottawa designated the group as a “terrorist” entity. “The truth is, we were never terrorists or a white supremacy group,” the administrator of the official Proud Boys channel on Telegram said in a statement on Sunday. “We are electricians, carpenters, financial advisors, mechanics, etc. More than that, we are fathers, brothers, uncles and sons,” it said. Canada added the Proud Boys to its list of “terrorist entities” on February 3, saying “the threat of ideologically motivated extremism has been identified as the most significant threat to domestic security in Canada”.

But the Canadian Anti-Hate Network warns that the Proud Boys’ apparent disbandment doesn’t mean its far right members are gone for good. In a series of tweets Monday, Canadian Anti-Hate Network said the Proud Boys members could keep organizing as part of a loose network, and may or may not rebrand. “There are more true believers, supporters, and sympathizers within hate movements than there are self-identifying members of individual hate groups,” The Canadian Anti-Hate Network said. “Treating ‘hate groups’ as an isolated problem is like playing whack-a-mole on the internet. The problem is hate movements.” 3/ There are more true believers, supporters, and sympathizers within hate movements than there are self-identifying members of individual hate groups.
