| Motion to eject pro-life MLA Patterk Netser from the Nunavut cabinet due to his pro-life Facebook comment Totalitarian vote to remove democratically-elected Nunavut MLA Patterk Netser from cabinet for his pro-life statement asserting that "all lives matter", including the lives of babies in the womb. In retaliation for speaking this life-affirming truth, Netser was absurdly accused by Premier Joe Savikataaq of making comments "based in racism and gender violence". The vote to eject Netser took place on October 23, 2020 and passed by a vote of 14 to 3. |
