Summary
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is urging the Liberal government to designate the Houthis as a terrorist group due to their ties to violence and terrorism.
- Adding the Houthis to Canada’s terror list would enable freezing of assets and criminal charges against supporters.
- The demand comes after Conservatives called for Samidoun, a pro-Palestinian group, to be added to the terror list following a protest in Vancouver.
- Canada’s security agencies are evaluating multiple groups for inclusion on the terrorist entities list.
