Dear Editor:
RE: Kitras running for New Blue Party, April 21.
The article about Stephen Kitras omitted two facts. MPP Belinda Karahalios was dismissed from the Progressive Conservative Party for voting against Doug Ford’s COVID-19 mandate legislation. Jim Karahalios was illegally (court ruling) dismissed from running for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada.

*Editor’s note: A May 20, 2020 Ontario Superior Court decision stated the Conservative Party committee that removed Jim Karahalios from the leadership contest over allegations of racism did not have the authority to do so. However, one day after the court decision, the proper committee legally disqualified Karahalios from the race.
