Sarah Jama, an MPP from Hamilton-Centre, has been removed from the Ontario NDP caucus. This decision was made by NDP Leader Marit Stiles due to Jama's unilateral actions that undermined the collective work and trust of her colleagues. Some of her actions were reported to have contributed to unsafe work environments for staff.

This decision coincides with ongoing censure proceedings by the Doug Ford government regarding Jama's comments on the Israel-Gaza war, where she called for an end to "Israeli apartheid" and faced accusations of having a history of antisemitism.

I think it's not so much caving as it focusing the narrative.

In opposition, where the government has a strong majority, the NDP only get so much time to push their agenda, and Doug will happily waste time harping on this Member, rather than field Marit and her caucus' questions on his blatant corruption.
