The MPP for Cambridge has been ejected from the chamber at Queen's Park for not being vaccinated against COVID-19.
Belinda Karahalios was told to leave on Tuesday morning by the speaker.
At the end of November, she tested positive for COVID-19.
Karahalios took to Twitter, stating she entered the legislature today with a negative test.
“This is an affront to democracy.” she said in the post.
Today, I entered the legislature with a negative COVID-19 test. After taking my seat to ask the Ford PC Gov a question the Speaker had me removed despite being the MPP least likely to spread COVID-19. This is an affront to democracy. The Ford Gov is a disgrace #onpoli
