Subject: Canada (well, ok, Bob Ford..) kicking out unvaccinated politicians
[copying over from a usenet post] Here in Ontario, our premier, Rob Ford, has insisted he will NOT create a vaccine mandate for ordinary residents. However, he says there has to be a higher standard for politicians so he has ousted an MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament) from his own party for refusing to get vaccinated by 5 PM today. (A second MPP who has not been vaccinated was granted a medical exemption so she's still in the party.) https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-mpp-ousted-from-pc-caucus-over-refusal-to-get-vaccinated-1.5553838 The ousted MPP loses his membership in the Progressive Conservative Party and will not be allowed to contest the next election as a member of that party either despite winning three consecutive elections for the party.
