Sarah Jama is Hamilton Centre's member of provincial parliament.
Her office served a cease and desist letter to Ford on Thursday. Hamilton MPP Sarah Jama is threatening to sue Premier Doug Ford for accusing her of antisemitism over comments she made in support of Palestinians.
"Though I would call out this government for repeatedly and cynically fanning the flames of division during such a painful time," she added. In the cease and desist letter, Jama's lawyer Ellis says Ford implied she is racist, sympathetic to terrorism and unfit to represent her Hamilton Centre riding. The motion has left Hamilton residents concerned the city will no longer have a voice at Queen's Park, if the motion is passed.
