Canada adds 764, Maniac Murder Cult and Terrorgram Collective to list of terrorist entities

The Canadian government has added three ideologically motivated violent extremist networks to its Criminal Code list of terrorist entities, including 764, Maniac Murder Cult and Terrorgram Collective.

Ottawa said these groups target young people in particular and use social media and online gaming platforms to recruit and radicalize, “spread propaganda and violent extremist narratives, and incite violence both online and offline.”

The designation means all property owned by these groups in Canada must be frozen and reported to CSIS or the RCMP. Providing property or financial services that benefit these groups is prohibited. Immigration and border officials can use this listing to deny admission to foreigners under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
