Third time I believe. The judge said the Government hadn't offered any reason why there would be harm to anyone if she took the oath veiled, so there was no reason not to apply the law as it now stands. That law requires the Government to do everything reasonable to accommodate differing religious choices and practices when administering the oath.
If she's wiling to be identified without the veil, we can easily hear her say the oath with it. As the courts have ruled, it would be against the law to force her to remove the niqab she chooses to wear because an official whose duty is to help her insists on imposing his idea of her religious obligation. Or his boss's. Or Our Dear Leader's
The encouraging thing is that she still wants to, in spite of the hypocritical bigotry she's faced from the highest in the land and the reactionary repressiveness they've encouraged and aroused among ordinary Canadians.
Of course we shouldn't be surprised if Harper and Kenney take full advantage of the technicality of the law's wording; that the Minister sends a letter inviting the successful applicant who has met all the requirements to take the oath. She'd be unwise to hold her breath waiting for it.
Not only are these guys repressive cultural barbarians, they have no understanding how an adult can lose with class. To themselves, they're just losers, unless they stop that poor woman.
