Conservative legislators voted on Wednesday to expel former leadership candidate Derek Sloan from the Tory caucus “because of a pattern of destructive behaviour,” party officials said in a statement.
Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole initiated the process to remove Sloan on Monday shortly after it emerged that the Ontario MP received a campaign donation from Paul Fromm, a self-described white nationalist.
Sloan fought against the vote, saying his team was unaware of the source of the $131 donation because Fromm used his full name, Frederick P. Fromm.
“The Conservative Caucus voted to remove Derek Sloan not because of one specific event, but because of a pattern of destructive behaviour involving multiple incidents and disrespect towards the Conservative team for over a year,” O’Toole said in a statement.
