Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet tabled a motion in parliament to officially separate Canada from the British Monarchy, going as far to say that his sworn oath to His Royal Highness the King of England was insincere.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is legally challenging a request that he testify under oath before the Emergencies Act Inquiry — saying it would be “inconsistent” with parliamentary privilege to force him and his minister Sylvia Jones to appear.

Why is he refusing to testify?
