Section 2 of the canadian charter of rights and freedoms suggests otherwise.
Profoundly wrong, or bad faith?
If what you intended to express was that your country's standing with free speech could be improved - then..sure, so could ours? That could only be relevant to the item in question if the item in question is a good example of exactly that - which...frankly, it's not. Our domestics are your internationals. Ours fund yours... and yours are affiliated with ours. You could more easily argue the case that the us is a state sponsor of terror in canada than enacting financial penalties for terrorist acts is an abrogation of free speech in either of our countries.
Designating the proud boys a terrorist organization does not and cannot prevent a white supremacist from speaking, or white supremacy as an ideology from being spread. That costs no money, and is not predicated on a persons membership or financial support for an organization which was involved in an attempted insurrection in an ally state, among other itsy bitsy quibbles.
Here is a short list from wiki, I'm sure that you can find others, of white nationalist organizations active in canada. You may notice that it's not interchangeable with your list of designated terrorist organizations. From this, I can only conclude that it's well within the realm of legality to be and say white supremacist shit in canada...some guys just can't get their shit together. It's almost as if each of these terrorist organizations has been designated as such by their calls to violence against the people of a state and the overthrow of it's government, and history of then making such attempts.
