"Veiled women will be able to vote in the upcoming Quebec byelections — and all
future federal contests — without showing their faces, Elections Canada says.
“It applies throughout the country,” said spokesman John Enright. “It applies to
all federal elections, byelections and referendums.”"
I think that this is crossing the line from multi-culturalism and being an inclusive society into dangerous territory. If they do not have to show their faces, how are they going to show that they are who they are. Elections are the back bone of any democracy, and the threat that unknown people taking part is too great. The little old lady in front on you under that veil, maybe a teenage operative waiting to explode a bomb in the polling station.
It is clear to me, that these people are guest in the nations that they come to. They should be treated with respect and kindness, they should also be expected to play by the same rules as everyone else.
