When Quebec asked a women to remove her niquab while attending class, we were Talebans:

But the case of Naema Ahmed is not about accommodation at all – it   is about the limits of tolerance, and in Quebec it is that which is   proving to be unreasonable)
[...]
It may be practiced in some Arab and west Asian countries, such as the  former Taliban regime in Afghanistan, but empowering state agents to  enforce dress codes and bar the education of women is hitherto unknown  in Canada
(Globe and Mail, March 2010)


But now that the Federal government is forcing women to remove their niquab while swearing their citizenship oath, I can't find the word "Taleban" anywhere in the Globe & Mail.

But Canada has the right to insist on confirming the identity of the  oath-taker (they need to know who is under the veil), and in insisting  that the oath be taken, audibly.

different reasons. One is to confirm their identiry, the other is because quebec hates minorities ( :P ). This is dumb in any regard, it's the swearing in. So another person can wear a face covering, take it off after the oath, and yell out "aha! i tricked you, i'm a citizen now". Showing their face for tests and the like is different.

Fausse equivalence.

A l'ecole, elle passe chaque jour devoile.  Ici, elle replace le niqab sur le moment le ceremonie est terminee.  1000 heures > 1 heure.

("Devoile" might not be the right word, although literally it should be.  I am learning your Taliban ways.)

As if the oath to a foreign monarch was not bad enough...

She has no citizenship, not even British citizenship, not even a driver's license as these and passports are signed in her name. How can she be her own subject?  :huh:

A monarch should not be a citizen.  You republican weirdos are weird.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I don't have a problem considering her as British monarch, nice try.

I don't understand why you think it's different for Britain then it is for Canada?
