Backbencher out of Manitoba NDP caucus over Nygard link, accuses premier of bullying
Manitoba's governing New Democrats ousted backbencher and defence lawyer Mark Wasyliw from caucus Monday, and Wasyliw fired back by accusing Premier Wab Kinew of being a micromanaging, toxic bully.
The NDP said it removed Wasyliw because a partner at his law firm is representing convicted sex offender and disgraced fashion mogul Peter Nygard.
Manitoba NDP removes backbencher from caucus over Nygard link
A Manitoba New Democrat has been removed from the government caucus and is firing back at Premier Wab Kinew.
The NDP has removed Mark Wasyliw — a lawyer — from caucus, saying his business partner is a defence lawyer for convicted sex offender Peter Nygard.
Caucus chair Mike Moyes says Wasyliw has failed to demonstrate good judgment and does not align with caucus principles of respect and trust.
Wasyliw says he thinks he has been turfed because he spoke his mind within caucus.
