niqab-fullThe Postmedia Network's Opinion as published in The Sun Times on September 28th is that women who wear niqabs should be required to show their faces when taking the oath of citizenship in Canada.  This opinion is largely based on polls showing that a majority of Canadians support this requirement.  I am sure that at one time there were polls opposing same-sex marriage.  Thank God that the Supreme Court does not base its rulings on polls.  The second leg their opinion stands on is that "it is not in our tradition".  When there is no logical argument against something people say things like, "We are going to do it this way because that's the way we've always done it.  It's a tradition."  The Postmedia Network Opinion has no reasonable basis in MY opinion.
