I Have Been A Member Of The Federal NDP Since 1981 ... Until Today
Since February 1, 2018 Mr. Singh has conducted the worst possible investigatory process imaginable concluding in a character assassination of my elected NDP Member of Parliament, Erin Weir.
As of today, with 37 years of Party membership under my belt, I have left the Federal New Democratic Party of Canada. Adieu.

CBC
Are you suggesting the people who complained about Weir are lying?? I think Singh handled it just right. He had a non partisan expert review what had happened and they said the complaints were justified. I have voted CCF and NDP for years and will never stop being a social democrat and I think many of the NDPers are giving Singh a bad rap.

"To smear Erin Weir's reputation over a physical proximity issue is to demean the definition of real life sexual harassment and elevate NDP political correctness to the level of paranoia." When Mr. Weir sought advice from Singh's office concerning CBC's request for comment (which Singh claims is the reason for removal, Singh's offce did not/would not respond. To have subjected an elected NDP MP to 3 months (!) of suspension from caucus duties was highhanded and administrative incompetence of the highest degree, OR ,it was a strategic series of moves intended to ultimately remove Weir from the Caucus.
