OTTAWA/LONDON, Ontario (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to take more action to dismantle far-right groups on Tuesday after a hate-motivated attack that killed four members of a Muslim family.
“This was a terrorist attack, motivated by hatred, in the heart of one of our communities,” Trudeau said in the House of Commons after observing a moment of silence. “We’ll continue to fight hate online and offline… (including) taking more action to dismantle far right hate groups, like we did with the Proud Boys by adding them to Canada’s terror listing.”
The family was killed on Sunday when a pickup truck jumped the curb and ran them over were deliberately targeted because of their religion, Canadian police said.
