Chapleau Town Council's calling for the removal of local MPP Michael Mantha.
In their meeting October 2nd, Council passed a resolution pointing to the Algoma-Manitoulin MPP's removal from the NDP caucus "due to an allegation of misconduct" (a third-party investigation ordered by the NDP found in August that there was enough evidence to substantiate unspecified allegations of workplace misconduct), though Mayor Ryan Bignucolo explains there's other factors involved.
The resolution calls on the Province of Ontario to "send a clear message and set an example" of the MPP.
In response, Mantha says "municipalities have the right to pass whatever resolutions they like" but would not comment on whether he'd step down.
The resolution was to be forwarded to all communities within the Algoma-Manitoulin riding, potentially to bolster Chapleau Council's call for Mantha's removal.
Normally, an elected politician only leaves the Legislature through resignation, election defeat, or death - it's unclear whether a mechanism currently exists for the Legislature to forcibly remove a member.
