Default Singh says government must move to counter hate groups, which have tripled since 2015

Singh says government must move to counter hate groups, which have tripled since 2015

November 10, 2020

OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says the Liberal government must do more to tackle the growing threat of hate groups.

The past five years have seen a proliferation of neo-Nazi groups and online content from the so-called alt-right, a white nationalist movement, with experts saying the number of hate groups in Canada has tripled to 300 since 2015.

Fatal attacks, including at a Toronto mosque in September and the Quebec City mosque shooting in 2017, make demands for a federal response all the more urgent, Singh said.

"Radicalized white supremacists, neo-Nazis, the alt-right have resulted in the deaths of people," he said, highlighting the threat to Canada's Muslim, Jewish, Sikh and racialized communities.
