I think this is about multiculturalism insofar as we need to evaluate what it means to be a Canadian and live in a modern liberal democracy. As many have said above, on a political and moral level, I find the burqa or niqab to be revoltingly offensive to my ideas of a free society. This is a potentially dangerous stance as it can devolve into a sort of fascist attitude, especially in a mass society.

But I'm with Oxy_Flame. As a security issue, this is such a no-brainer.
