This bill bans every "religious symbol", including a hijab. The niqab is, from my understanding, a full face and body covering garment, and most people would consider that different from what this bill targets. I don't think it is fair to say this exact same thing was a "hot topic" in the Federal election.
- nickelcitymario 8y agoHow is it not fair to say it was a hot topic? It was one of the biggest and most controversial stories in Canada at the time. Am I missing something?
- wutbrodo 8y agoThe claim isn't that the niqab bill wasn't a hot topic, it that this bill is about hijabs and not niqabs.
- nickelcitymario 8y agoAh, I see. Thanks for the clarification!
- danbolt 8y agoOh wow, you're totally right. I totally should have realized the distinction there. Thank you for speaking up!
