Enrique Tarrio, the chairman of Proud Boys, called the terrorist designation “ridiculous.”"There is no basis for it.
All the Canadian Proud Boys have ever done is go to rallies,” Tarrio said in a phone interview.
He estimated there are between 1,000 and 1,500 Proud Boys in Canada.
Sending money to the organization or buying Proud Boys paraphernalia would also be a crime.
On January 6, 2021, the Proud Boys played a pivotal role in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.”The government calls the Proud Boys a neo-fascist organization with semiautonomous chapters located in the United States, Canada, and internationally.
