He is acting like a madman, daring his local Bishop to essentially excommunicate him. Very unlike a statesman or a good politician or a national leader. He is an embarrassment to Canada.

The Catholic Church usually reserves excommunication for recalcatrant bishops and authority figures, not for pew-warming Catholics.
It's RARELY done. I think the last time I heard of someone getting excommunicated in the RCC, it was in reference to a bishop in Africa who "married" a woman in a ceremony performed by Rev. Moon. He repented and the pope took him back.
