Hamilton MPP Sarah Jama was censured by the Ontario Legislature and removed from the NDP caucus on Oct. 23 following remarks the first-time legislator made about the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel on social media.

Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles said the expulsion follows the MPP taking a series of “unilateral” actions.
