We've heard reports of hostile foreign entities and foreign regimes that have been funding violence, like the pro-Hamas, pro-terror and anti-Semitic demonstrations that we've been seeing on Canadian streets, without any consequences. This is as a result of a failure by the government to actually designate these groups as what they are. Samidoun is one; they enjoy non-profit status currently in Canada. The Houthis in Canada are legally allowed to fundraise, recruit and organize. They both should clearly be banned.
What should the government be doing to detect this foreign-backed interference that leads to intimidation, both of political and non-political actors, and the promotion of hatred on our streets? These two are very clear. Using open-source information and simple observation allows people to determine this, but these groups are self-declared in doing what they're doing.
We've made the assertion they should be banned. What should the government be doing to detect these activities in a proactive way?
What you permit, you promote, so Canadians would believe that the information being spread by these bad actors is okay. It's legitimized by the government by virtue of the fact that they failed to take any action to criminalize these groups.
