Ontario Legislature Speaker Ted Arnott stands by a ban on wearing keffiyehs, citing their use as a political statement. The ban has been opposed by Ontario Premier Doug Ford and all opposition parties, who called for the overturning of the decision. Arnott's decision comes after an NDP motion to allow keffiyehs in the legislature failed due to not receiving unanimous consent.
