TORONTO — Four protesters who unfurled keffiyehs inside Ontario's legislature and were subsequently kicked out have been banned from Queen's Park.
Speaker Ted Arnott banned keffiyehs at the legislature earlier this year, saying they are being worn to make a political statement. All four party leaders, including Premier Doug Ford, have asked for the ban to be overturned.Last Tuesday, NDP Leader Marit Stiles filed a motion seeking unanimous consent of the house to overturn the keffiyeh ban. It failed after at least one Progressive Conservative legislator objected. It was Stiles' second attempt to reverse the ban.
"The supervisor was saying that we were resisting, that we weren't leaving right away and that we wanted to stay inside the gallery, but that wasn't true," she said.Bebawy said they were at first cautioned by security to never do that again, but minutes later that was upgraded to a written trespass notice.
