Sloan's expulsion was triggered by O'Toole, Mike Smyth says, who was 'outraged' to learn Sloan had accepted a campaign donation from Paul Fromm, a notorious white supremacist.

"Derek Sloan’s acceptance of a donation from a well-known white supremacist is far worse than a gross error of judgment or failure of due diligence," the statement said.

It comes on the heels of a Liberal fundraising letter that accused the Conservatives of "continuing a worrisome pattern of divisive politics and catering to the extreme right."

We need responsible political leaders to speak to the facts, not pander to the cult of pseudoscience, Rob Breakenridge says.

O'Toole's comments came during an interview with The West Block's Mercedes Stephenson, as his party prepares to table a motion calling on the government to ban Huawei and its potential participation in the building of a 5G network in Canada within 30 days.

Erin O'Toole's Conservative Party raised more than $5.6 million in the third quarter, more than all other federal parties combined.
