<\/figure>\n\n\n\nConservative MP Derek Sloan says he will fight efforts by Erin O\u2019Toole to kick him out of caucus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf I am guilty of something, they are guilty of something. This is ridiculous,\u201d Sloan said in a Facebook<\/a> video on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m not going to go down without a fight.\u201d https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=476&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FDerekSloanCPC%2Fvideos%2F438544913916115%2F&show_text=false&width=267<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Monday, O\u2019Toole said he has begun the process of removing<\/a> Sloan from caucus after it was revealed that Sloan\u2019s leadership campaign received a donation from known white supremacist Paul Fromm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRacism 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\u2019t tolerate it,\u201d O\u2019Toole said in his statement. https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/index.html?dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-0&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1351319921423249408&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Ftnc.news%2F2021%2F01%2F19%2Fthis-is-ridiculous-derek-sloan-refuses-to-leave-cpc-without-a-fight%2F&siteScreenName=truenorthcentre&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the MP for Hastings \u2013 Lennox and Addington is accusing the party of hypocrisy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Sloan, Fromm was a party member and voted in the party\u2019s recent leadership contest \u2014 something that would have been known to all leadership candidates, including O\u2019Toole, and party headquarters as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In a statement<\/a> on Twitter, Sloan says he was unaware of this donation and that nobody made any effort to contact him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHis donation was processed without either my campaign or the CPC realizing who had made the donation,\u201d said Sloan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Party must check each donor to ensure they have not exceeded the maximum, I did not hear from them, ever, on this matter.\u201d https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/index.html?dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-1&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1351356504201375747&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Ftnc.news%2F2021%2F01%2F19%2Fthis-is-ridiculous-derek-sloan-refuses-to-leave-cpc-without-a-fight%2F&siteScreenName=truenorthcentre&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sloan said it\u2019s absurd to expect that any politician to be familiar with the names of every single one of their donors. Fromm\u2019s donation of $131 was one of 13,000 donations to Sloan\u2019s leadership campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Leadership campaign donations are processed by both the campaign staff and the Party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Under the Reform Act, O\u2019Toole can initiate a vote within the party to remove a member of caucus should they lose the confidence of the party. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AzgTqOrHhOY?feature=oembed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cThis is ridiculous,\u201d Derek Sloan refuses to leave CPC without a fight By True North Wire – January 19, 2021 Share Facebook Twitter Linkedin ReddIt Conservative MP Derek Sloan says he will fight efforts by Erin O\u2019Toole to kick him … Continue reading
