(Canadian Press) Ontario’s New Democrats say they removed a longtime legislator from caucus because he was found to be a member of an Islamophobic Facebook group.
The party’s provincial director issued a statement on Wednesday giving more details about Paul Miller’s ouster, which was announced last week with few specifics about what prompted it.
Lucy Watson said in a written statement that the party’s vetting process ahead of the expected June election discovered that Miller was a member of the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam Facebook group.
Watson said the finding came after “a pattern of troubling behaviour that indicated that Paul Miller may harbour Islamophobic, homophobic and racist views.”
