BREAKING: Derek Sloan has been removed from the Conservative Party

Conservative Party Leader Erin O'Toole has removed MP Derek Sloan from caucus. This news comes after it was revealed that Sloan accepted a campaign donation from Paul Fromm, a known white supremacist. This donation occurred during Sloan's Leadership Campaign.

In a statement, O'Toole said "Derek Sloan's acceptance of a donation from a well-known white supremacist is far worse than a gross error of judge or failure of due diligence. "

O'Toole continued, "In accordance with the Reform Act I have initiated the process to remove Mr. Sloan from the Conservative Party of Canada caucus. I expect this to be done as quickly as possible. Moreover, as Leader of Canada's Conservatives, I will not allow Mr. Sloan to run as a candidate for our party."

The Opposition Leader concluded, "racism is a disease of the soul, repugnant to our core values. It has no place in our country. It has no place in the Conservative Party of Canada. I won't tolerate it."
