The federal Conservative Party has dismissed another candidate, bringing the total to four, after expelling three others on the same day earlier this week.

Don Patel, Conservative candidate for the Ontario riding of Etobicoke North, was dismissed for his alleged support of a social media comment suggesting that certain unidentified persons, whom the comment describes as “non-sense people,” be deported to India, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi would “take care” of them.
