Jason Kenney: Queen Elizabeth

Legal Objections Dept: But okay, there are valid arguments on both sides. Far more troubling is Mr. Kenney s what-do-I-care response, when asked about the chance of legal objections to the ban, according to Globe and Mail. This from a minister of the Crown, charged with upholding the laws of Canada? Shame and which brings us to Immigration Minister Jason Kenney s sudden edict that women in niqabs taking the oath of citizenship must lift their veils. Otherwise, according to the minister, their pledge to be faithful to Canada and Queen Elizabeth might be mumbled without anyone knowing. Apparently, no previous immigrant has ever done that before in this great land of ours. I m sure they ll trump up some stupid Charter of Rights challenge, Mr. Kenney said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
