This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hamilton MPP Sarah Jama is threatening to sue Premier Doug Ford for accusing her of antisemitism over comments she made in support of Palestinians.
Jama’s office served the cease and desist letter to Ford on Thursday, said a statement from her lawyer Stephen Ellis and the Legal Centre for Palestine.
In the cease and desist letter, Jama’s lawyer Ellis says Ford implied she is racist, sympathetic to terrorism and unfit to represent her Hamilton Centre riding.
This week, Ontario’s legislature is debating a Progressive Conservative motion to censure Jama over her statement unless she removes it and apologizes “in her place in the House.”
Rima Berns-McGown, a former Toronto NDP MPP who is Jewish and lived in Israel in the 1980s, said she believes the Ford government is trying to silence Jama.
She also said the Tories are using Jama as a way to distract from the fact that the RCMP is investigating the government’s decision — which it has now reversed — to open parts of the protected Greenbelt lands for housing development.

How’s the greenbelt developer scandal going Dougie?
