Given the modern left’s fixation on intersectionality, one might imagine that it’d be near impossible for a female, Black, disabled politician to get thrown out of an NDP caucus. But Sarah Jama somehow managed the task.

In 2021, two years before becoming the MPP for Hamilton Centre, Jama likened Zionists to Nazis, and claimed that Israel was killing people all over the world, including right here in Canada. When asked about this bizarre outburst, Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles meekly explained that, hey, we all find ourselves in situations “where maybe we didn’t use the right choice of words,” right? And besides, that was the old Jama — the one who wrote for a communist magazine and got arrested at a political demonstration. Surely, she’d be cleaning up her act now that she sat in Ontario’s legislature.
