11:00 – Canada designated 13 groups as terrorist entities yesterday, and included among a number of al Qaeda and ISIS affiliates was the so-called “Proud Boys,” a right-wing group that was allegedly involved in the US Capitol riots last month. The sanctions freeze the group’s assets and open up members to criminal sanctions, but according to former CSIS analyst Phil Gurski, the move was 100% political and won’t help in prosecution or actual counterterrorism work. Gurski joins Mike to tell us why he feels the move was about optics and not national security.
