TORONTO — Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles says she has removed rookie legislator Sarah Jama from caucus.
Stiles says the member for Hamilton Centre, who has been under fire for comments about the Israel-Hamas conflict, made what Stiles calls"a number of unilateral actions" that have undermined the party's collective work and broken the trust of her colleagues.
She said Premier Doug Ford's government is targeting her to distract from its own scandals, and also said that governments and institutions in Canada are trying to use their voice and weight to silence people who support Palestinians.
