Canada has listed Samidoun, a proPalestinian group behind a rally where people chanted “death to Canada” and burned the Canadian flag in Vancouver earlier this month, as a terrorist entity.

Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc made the announcement on Tuesday and noted that the listing was made alongside the U.S. Treasury Department’s own decision to list the group as a specially designated global terrorist entity.

“Violent extremism, acts of terrorism or terrorist financing have no place in Canadian society or abroad," LeBlanc said in a statement.

Global's Rumina Daya reports on the events at the rally and why one of its Vancouverbased organizers to a U.S. terror watch list.
