Perhaps because people associate the niqab with a culture that severely oppresses women and is outright hateful to a number of other groups. (IE: Homosexuals)
I think the general issue is that people want foreigners to assimilate, they don't want to have to assimilate to the foreigners cultures.
Does that represent a racist/facist perspective? Perhaps, but I'm not sure it's really hurting anyone to establish a position of expectations that when you immigrate to Canada, you don't just immigrate here for the safety, jobs, health care, and education.. you immigrate here for the culture and way of life.
Again, the conservative hidden agenda is lost on me, if someone could spell it out, I would appreciate it.
I almost look forward to a scenario where the cons get punted and another party gets majority, then I can hear 80% of the current anti-cons bitching and complaining about the corrupt and ineffective NDP/LIBS etc.
Hopefully I'm wrong, but there is a reason why nobody ever speaks of previous governments with any nostalgia.
