Weir initially sat as a member of the federal New Democratic Party (NDP) but was expelled from the party's caucus on May 3, 2018 after a dispute over a third party investigation that sustained some claims of harassment.[2] No appeal of this investigation was granted.[3] Before entering federal politics, Weir ran in the 2013 Saskatchewan New Democratic Party leadership election and was an economist with the Canadian section of the United Steelworkers union.
Prior to his expulsion, Weir was appointed the NDP's critic for Public Services and Procurement Canada.
