Canada has officially named the US rightwing militia group Three Percenters as a terrorist entity alongside Isis and al-Qaida, saying it had an active presence in Canada and could threaten national security.

Earlier this month US prosecutors obtained a conspiracy indictment against six men associated with the Three Percenters, the latest in a series of such charges arising from the 6 January attack at the Capitol by Donald Trump’s supporters.

Canadian officials cited the riot and said members of the Three Percenters had been linked to a 2020 plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan.

Canadian officials cited the January 6 riot in their listing. Public safety minister Bill Blair said the group had an active presence in Canada and were interested in recruiting members of the police and people with military training.

“We monitor their activities in Canada with growing concern,” he told a news conference.

The treasonous snowflakes will probably boycott Canadian celebrities Michael J Fox reruns and Anne Murray songs from U.S. radio and TV now.

This week it’s the Three Percenters, but what happens next to us when the Pea Soup Eaters go after the Four Percenters, or the Five Percenters?
