OTTAWA – Canada’s Prime Minister and staunch women’s rights ally Stephen Harper is defending women’s rights by dictating what the can and cannot wear during citizenship ceremonies.
“The niqab is rooted in a culture that is inherently anti-women,” Harper said asserting pro-woman male dominance during Question Period. “Men in these cultures have been dictating what they can and cannot wear. But, as a man defending women, I know what’s best for them and the niqab is clearly not. Women wearing niqabs cannot understand that they’re being oppressed. Therefore, anyone who wears the niqab must be shunned and denied citizenship.”
Harper also stated that he would be banning other anti-women fashion which will be determined by an all-male judicial panel headed by Justice Minister Peter MacKay.
“A woman’s face is not like a Senate expense scandal or election fraud,” Harper added. “It shouldn’t be covered up by a higher power.”
