You have far too much faith in the intelligence and reasoning of the average Canadian voter
Perhaps I do. I just think a niqab strategy is an "us and other" tactic. This has worked for time immemorial. Abortion is not that. Abortion is two beliefs clashing and isn't inherently tribal. It's also something that has been legally accepted here for 25 years. Abortion is a way, way touchier subject than a niqab. No one wants to touch it and it would be foolish to try and use it imo.
