Derek Sloan ejected from Conservative caucus over ‘pattern of destructive behaviour’
Derek Sloan has been ejected from the federal Conservative caucus.Members of the caucus gathered on Wednesday to vote on the fate of the MP for Hastings—Lennox and Addington, who in just over one year of public life has prompted repeated criticism for behaviour ranging from attacking the country’s top doctor to sharing vaccine misinformation.“The Conservative caucus voted to remove Derek Sloan not because of one specific event, but because of a pattern of destructive behaviour involving multiple incidents and disrespect towards the Conservative team for over a year,” Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole said in a statement.“These actions have been a consistent distraction from our efforts to grow the party and focus on the work we need to do.
