Niqab issue is ‘Harper’s bizarre’

-

Would the removal of a niqab during a citizenshi­p oath or while federally employed somehow prevent criminalit­y? Outside of those circumstan­ces, wearing one is apparently OK to Stephen Harper.

How many faces does a smiling, clean-shaven politician have to hide? How many would recognize local MP Tim Uppal if he shaved off his disguise?

This is not a security issue, it is hypocrisy — “Harper’s bizarre.” H.H Buchsdruec­ker, Edmonton
