What did get me thinking a bit about happened yesterday as I just happened to catch about 3 minutes of Kincaid and Breckenridge on QR and a question was posed,
"What if someone wants to wear KKK hood over their face at the ceremony"? It's more or less the same thing.
I was unable to listen to the debate that followed, (if any) but am interested which way the needle moved.

LOL, does anyone legitimately think this is some kind of slippery slope, that if we allow wearing niqabs then we'll also have to allow KKK hoods? Did nobody bother to think this through?
The reason KKK members wear hoods is because they want to hide their identities and remain anonymous. It defeats the purpose to wear a KKK hood at a citizenship ceremony because new Canadians have to state their name as part of the oath. What a ridiculous comparison.
