The framing of Sarah Jama breaking the “trust” of the NDP caucus is interesting because her views about Israel-Palestine have stayed consistent to before her being elected — and even before winning the NDP nomination.
BREAKING: The NDP has kicked Sarah Jama out of caucus after she made "unilateral decisions" that broke trust of colleagues, the NDP says.

This is really good reporting on what led to the NDP’s ouster of Sarah Jama
Here's our story, for subscribers.
I'm told the NDP supported Jama in making a speech today — but then she read a different one. Words like "apartheid" and "occupation" weren't part of the original script.
It was the final surprise that got her booted.

Pardon? Are you saying a terrorist attack this gruesome in nature shouldn’t cause a change in position for anyone? Explain please

We all know it was the NDP who betrayed Sarah, not the other way around. That party has no purpose if this is how they are going to act, but I guess the top brass are still lining their pockets so they don't care.

Maybe I didn't hear full presser but did she give any specific examples of what Jama did unilaterally?

They knew exactly what they were going to get when she was elected and they still threw her under the bed

These words are familiar to me.
People with power use these words to describe anyone who disagrees with them especially after they have tried to use their powers to get said someone to “revise” their views or values.

By breaking trust they mean, Sarah Jama didn’t read a script and stayed true to her morals and respect. The NDP didn’t like that.

It goes beyond her behavior. Her party has asked her to behave in a particular manner and she publicly gave them the 🖕🏻.

“unilateral decisions” like serving Doug Ford with the threat of a lawsuit.
Dis Stiles make deal with Dog Ford?

You can say it the NDP kicked Sarah Jama out because she didn't "know her place". Kevin Yarde last year another Black NDP MP got similar treatment. I doubt Canadian media will speak up about the race element.

Yes, but know she made the implication that the terrorist massacre was warranted. So sorry I have no sympathy for her.
