It's not like "liberal" or "conservative" have set templates that one person has to firmly fit inside.
The niqab issue issue is a wedge issue precisely because an argument can be made either way.
Personally, I believe that even if a minority of women want to wear it because they feel good about it (and some have stated such), then the government has no place in telling them they can't.
We should however be doing our best to educate muslim women in Canada on their rights and more to deter men who make them wear it.
