Ontario Speaker Ted Arnott permits keffiyehs in legislative building but bans them in chamber; MPPs defy ban, leading to removal.

Ontario Speaker Ted Arnott allows keffiyehs inside the legislative building, but maintains the ban on them inside the legislative chamber. MPP Sarah Jama and colleagues defy the ban by wearing keffiyehs in the chamber, resulting in their removal. The keffiyeh, a checkered scarf typically worn in Arab cultures, has come to symbolize solidarity with Palestinians.
