The party did not comment on its reasons for parting ways with Loyola. Loyola has not responded to request for comment.

The party's decision to drop him as a candidate comes after the National Post reported they had found a video from 2009 in which he appears to be praising Hezbollah and Hamas at an anti-NATO protest. Both are listed as terrorist groups in Canada.

According to Elections Canada rules, political parties have until April 7 to find a new person to place on the ballot.

Eh. That's plenty of time. 😂
