OTTAWA - A decision by Conservative Leader Erin O Toole to boot an MP from his caucus has factions of the conservative movement in Canada wondering about their own futures in the party.
Among them: some firearms advocates, who say they re concerned about what the move may signal for their members who backed O Toole in last year s leadership race in part on promises to advocate for their cause.
Ontario MP Derek Sloan was removed last week for what O Toole called a pattern of destructive behaviour that was undermining the team.
