Ontario MPP removed from PC caucus over ‘serious lapses in judgment’

Premier Doug Ford has removed a member of his caucus due to what he’s describing as “serious lapses in judgment.”

In a statement released Friday morning, the premier’s office said MPP Goldie Ghamari had been removed from the Progressive Conservative caucus “effective immediately.”

Earlier this week, the National Council of Canadian Muslims called on Ford to remove Ghamari after she posted an image of a meeting with British far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

In response, Ghamari said she was “not aware” of Robinson’s history prior to their meeting.

This is a breaking news story. More to come.
