&gt;&gt; It sounds so bizarre that a sitting Canadian government would suggest such a thing<p>I, and many others who didn&#x27;t vote Conservative, still supported their efforts to enforce a ban on such a regressive mode of dress during citizenship ceremonies. I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s bizarre at all to address these sorts of things at a federal level. Citizenship is important and people who refuse to show their faces don&#x27;t deserve it. I&#x27;m sorry if this doesn&#x27;t match your ideal of an &quot;inclusive&quot; society or whatever.
