O'Toole says his former leadership rival's accepting the contribution is "far worse than a gross error of judgment or failure of due diligence."

It's up to Conservative MPs whether to eject Sloan from their number, but O'Toole says he'll use his power as party leader to keep the first-term Hastings--Lennox and Addington MP from running again as a Tory in the next election. Sloan says his leadership team processed the $131 donation from Paul Fromm without recognizing his name amid thousands of other donors.

Fromm has been a fixture in right-wing politics for decades, including participating in events with the neo-Nazi Heritage Front. Sloan says when he learned about the donation this afternoon, he contacted the Conservative party and asked that Fromm's money be returned.

..and Trudeau on TV taking kudos for OToole's decision But can't responsibility for anything else.

Was this the result of an internal leak? I thought donations of that size are not published by Elections Canada cdnpoli

So what about Skippy for anti semitic retreats?

A lil late id say

👀

Good. Sloan is an idiot but a dangerous one. He is like Trump to the power of 10 in his heart. He doesn't belong anywhere near the leavers of political power or office.

Bernier and the PPC:

Wow!! It seems like the cons have found religion or something today. O'Toole trying to get rid of Sloan and Kenney cancelling new permits. Talk about trying to pull the cover over people's eyes. Next, he needs to get rid of Lewis, Rempel and Bergen.

I’ve got bad news for people who are upset about this potential white nationalist in the Conservative party... 👀

We need a real leader in the conservative party O'Tool isn't the man.

O'Toole 'shocked' to find out there's a white nationalist in his midst.

Wow! Finally! CPC_HQ

Anyone check LPC donors as well? Sure they have some dandy’s as well.

Because belief in conversion therapy, being an antivaxer and abolishing abortion , just to name a few , wasn’t enough!!

WTH, he didn't know about this donation until it hit the news today? O'Toole doesn't have much choice after his campaign to distance himself from Trump and far right politics. Too little too late that ship has sailed.

O'Toole should boot his whole caucus out of the caucus

Thank F.

Do it! What's the hold-up? He should have been kicked out a long time ago.

Not surprised Sloan is a Conservative! ❤️✌️🇨🇦

I hope O'Toole means literally as well as figuratively. DerekSloanCPC is a disgusting pig and should have been gone LONG ago

A single $131 donation is the thing he wants to kick him out over. Not any of the hatred, bigotry, or egregious remarks over the last couple years?

Don't worry Derek, I'm sure Maxime Bernier will welcome you with open arms.

You'd think these days it would be worse to be a white nationalist than to take money from one.

O’Toole seeks to boot Ontario MP Sloan from Conservative caucusConservative Leader says accepting donation from a white supremacist ‘far worse than a gross error of judgment or failure of due diligence’ Too late for that shit. O'Toole is the Gym Jordon of the north..... Never saw anything in the conservative caucus showers...... Fun fact about right-wing populist parties? When you outlive your usefulness and threaten some polling points you are toast. Sloan was a perfect MP in the eyes of O'Toole until now....think about that in light of his track record.

O’Toole seeks to kick MP Derek Sloan from Conservative caucus after campaign donation from white supremacistO’Toole says his former leadership rival’s accepting the contribution is \u0027far worse than a gross error of judgment or failure of due diligence\u0027 This sets a terrible precedence. I hope all parties realize the potential impacts on MPs. Right now they appear to be naively celebrating this. I honestly didn't think any political parties vetted small donors. I think Sloan is awful but seems kinda weird to expect them to. Has he not come out of the closet yet....?
