Sarah Jama, an MPP from Hamilton-Centre, has been removed from the Ontario NDP caucus. This decision was made by NDP Leader Marit Stiles due to Jama’s unilateral actions that undermined the collective work and trust of her colleagues. Some of her actions were reported to have contributed to unsafe work environments for staff.

This decision coincides with ongoing censure proceedings by the Doug Ford government regarding Jama’s comments on the Israel-Gaza war, where she called for an end to “Israeli apartheid” and faced accusations of having a history of antisemitism.

    I haven’t looked into her comments to evaluate what I think of them, but any part would be tempted to de-caucus anyone about to be censured so when the censure inevitably happens the news headline is ‘independent MPP censured’ instead of ‘NDP MPP censured’.
