people can spread the virus as easily as unvaccinated people. As of 5 pm, Ford made the decision to oust Nicholls from the PC caucus. “As a consequence, he is no longer a sitting member of the PC caucus and will not be permitted to seek re-election as a PC candidate,” Ford said. Nicholls vows to continue to work for his constituents, but will be doing so without his connection to the party in power in Ontario.
He will also give up his place as the Deputy Speaker of the House. He’s been the elected Member of Provincial Parliament in Chatham-Kent Leamington since 2011 and has served as a member of several key committees in the Ford government. The other MPP in question, Scarborough Centre’s Christina Mitas, provided a medical exemption signed by a physician, just prior to the deadline and remains a part of the PC caucus.
