The latest successor to the See of Canterbury has so far said that while his own personal philosophies are definitely left of center, he recognizes that his new position requires him to try to keep the Anglicans together in a collegial fashion, rather than try to lead them in a direction that he'd like to see them go. So I expect to see him condemn this act.

OTOH, he's not a Pope. He can advise, and if he condemns this act it will help satisfy the African Anglicans (as well as the ECUSA, which has so far not favored legitimizing such a ceremony). However, the next step belongs to whoever the Primate of Canada is. He or she may have the power to initiate disciplinary action against this Bishop, depending on what Canon Law is in Canada.

Maybe the power, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for any disciplinary action to happen here......

Have you ever read the minutes from the 1998 Lambeth Conference ? There are many resolutions, though not Canon law, that indeed favor the perversion of homosexuality.

…depending on what Canon Law is in Canada.

I didn’t know Canon law is by sovereignty, I think you are mistaken.
