Conservative MPs have voted to expel failed leadership contender Derek Sloan from caucus after hours of deliberations over his future in the party.
The vote was held in an emergency meeting after it was revealed on Monday he accepted a donation from a known white supremacist. It followed other controversies involving the Ontario MP, including comments last year that questioned the Chief Public Health Officer’s allegiance to Canada and a petition he sponsored that cast aspersions on COVID-19 vaccines.
