It would be great if they would censure Steve Clark for overseeing the $8 billion greenbelt graft instead of this pearl clutching virtue signaling.

The motion calls comments made by Hamilton Centre MPP Sarah Jama last week “antisemitic” and “discriminatory.” If passed, it would call on the Speaker not to recognize Jama in the House “until the Member retracts and deletes her statement on social media and makes an apology in her place in the House.”

Didn't she already retract and apologize?

It also demands that the MPP “desist from further conduct that is inappropriate and unbecoming of a Member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.”

From what I saw, the issue with the statement in the first place was the timing and that it didn't call out every group that needed to be called out. That's what the issue was. They're also saying the NDP is an "antisemitic party" and that 'Jama is not fit to be premier'. The statements are all wild, it almost makes me think they're trying to use this as a distraction.

They're intentionally making wild controversial claims to direct attention away from the greenbelt controversy

They're trying everything to distract from the Greenbelt. They've tried pronouns and now they're trying this. The Ontario Conservatives are corrupt and nothing will hide that.
