TORONTO — The Speaker of Ontario’s legislature is standing by a ruling that bans people in the building from wearing keffiyehs, which he says are being worn to make a political statement, even after the premier and all opposition parties asked him to reverse it.
“In my opinion, having done the research, it appeared to me that the keffiyeh is being worn to make a political statement.” NDP Leader Marit Stiles moved a unanimous consent motion Thursday morning saying the keffiyeh is a culturally significant clothing item in Palestinian, Muslim and Arab communities and should be allowed in the house, but Arnott said he heard a few people say “no.”“I think is the correct decision, in the same way we can’t use other kinds of political clothing,” Martin said after question period.
