Photo: Quassa is out as Nunavut’s premier

Paul Quassa is out as Nunavut’s premier, after 16 MLAs voted today in favour of a motion to remove him from cabinet. John Main, the chair of the caucus of regular MLAs, said Quassa’s “autocratic style” partly prompted the motion. Starting at 3:30 p.m. today, MLAs will hold a leadership forum to pick a new premier.
