Ontario MPP Rick Nicholls booted from PC caucus after refusing to take COVID-19 vaccine
MPP Christina Mitas will remain in caucus as she provided a statement of medical exemption
The Canadian Press Posted: Aug 19, 2021 5:02 PM ET

An Ontario legislator who was warned to get vaccinated against COVID-19 or face removal from the Progressive Conservative caucus says he doesn't intend to take the shot.

Rick Nicholls, who represents Chatham-Kent-Leamington, says he made a "personal choice" not to get immunized and won't be "coerced" into taking the vaccine.

Nicholls was one of two Tory legislators facing a Thursday evening deadline to show proof of vaccination or a medical
exemption.

He says he will wait for word from Premier Doug Ford's office about his status in the Progressive Conservative ranks.

Ford has previously said he wouldn't make the vaccine mandatory because he considers it a constitutional right not to take the shots.

Nicholls says he "took the premier at his word" and raised his concerns about the policy with Ford.

Labour law will be on his side...so yes, I'm sure there are few lawyers who will be willing to bring it before a judge, clear up to the Supreme court.

Since the virus is no longer a 'public safety emergency' it's going to be hard to substantiate making the vaccine mandatory.

They are all making political suicide at this time. The gig is up!

Here is yet another resource of information on combatting the illegal government mandates.

Good, unions have a legal obligation to represent members and protect their rights. Things are going to get worse before it gets better....

Labour laws don't apply in this situation as an MPP is not employed by his party caucus. Nicholls remains an MPP but must sit as an independent or cross the floor to another party.

Ford jumping on the dictatorship train.
What shame, Ford has lost his way. He's no longer, for the people.

Traitor seems fitting imo

The Conservative party is just the right wing of the same globalist /elite bird that gives you an illusion of choice. Conservatives lay down the track for the full blown liberal commie train to steam across after people catch on to what the cons are really up to thinking a liberal change will save them.

Add Roman Babar, Randy Hillier, there aren't many with the integrity to stand up for the constituents that elected them against the totalitarian dictators that serve their corporate overlords.

It's a very good bet Baber and Hillier won't be serving their current constituents a year from now. Nicholls may be a different story. He took his stand, accepted the consequences, isn't being a dick about it and so far at least hasn't burned any bridges.

Baber, Hillier, Bernier and others are true heroes for taking a stand early on and exposing the corruption that exists in this country at all political levels.
They have the support of many.
