However Harper's fear mongering Islamaphobic oppression of our Muslim Canadian sisters is very relevant to the sad state of affairs we call womens rights in Canada! Thank you for your comments on keeping women at home. Sadly for Harper, stay at home moms are just as politically powerful and have just as much fierocity to support resistance as our sisters in the workforce.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-90726192668289788272015-03-13T08:31:22.327-04:002015-03-13T08:31:22.327-04:00No, I wouldn't go that far.

Most of the women I know from relevant countries hate the niqab - as well as Harper's dog-whistle politics. lagatta à montréalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610410709900333230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-26941030544576836482015-03-12T11:14:40.520-04:002015-03-12T11:14:40.520-04:00I wish I could download a picture so my words will...I wish I could download a picture so my words will have to paint it. In the winter when it gets cold out here in BC I wear head gear from Nepal were it gets equally cold it covers my entire forehead top of head and back of head and neck and then I wrap an equally colorful scarf around my face covering my nose mouth and chin exposing only my eyes. So do you suppose Simon that Steve will sick the secret police on me next winter?<br /><br />What a joke that empty/boy/child/man Steve is, let's laugh him out of office.<br /><br />Cheers & Love,<br />Keep up the mocking!!!!!<br />Mogs MoglioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-35283704217013902602015-03-12T09:27:54.369-04:002015-03-12T09:27:54.369-04:00Next it will be aboriginal women wearing ceremonia...Next it will be aboriginal women wearing ceremonial dress!

One day every year and call it niqab day in honour of women's rights.

The Canadian constitution gives them that right. Canadian traditions give them the right to wear a niqab. <br /><br />What harper ought to do is forget about trying to enforce a dress code for the women of Canada and find out who murdered 1,200 Canadian First Nations women. Harper seems to care about what women wear but not about who murdered 1,200 women. What is wrong with this picture? A P.M. of a country decides its more important to harass women who wear a niqab than find out who murdered 1,200 Canadian First Nations women. is this guy for real?????<br /><br />Harper wants to make this an election issue? He may find it doesn't work. People may realize that women who wear a niqab are only the first. What about women who wear a hijab? What about men who wear turbans, i.e. Sikhs. Come to think of it a lot of Hindi and Sikh women wear scarves around their hair. Is that going to be unacceptable in Harper's version of Canada? Beware because eventually Harper will come for all of us who do not believe as he does, He is a member of the Christian and Missionary Alliance church. They believe the bible is "inerrant" and the second coming is "imminent". <br /><br /> Harper needs to keep his religion ought of my House of Commons, because if he continues on this road, that bible is can be a very scary document and we don't need another version of the Taliban in Canada.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-19135746470183000362015-03-12T06:09:36.526-04:002015-03-12T06:09:36.526-04:00As per people in parkas and mufflers, several time...As per people in parkas and mufflers, several times this winter I was thinking we should start up a "spot the niqab" contest. lagatta à montréalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610410709900333230noreply@blogger.com
