Thou shalt not wear a burqua

[xenon]

Tangent - but related tangent.

I'm a natural born Canadian - but if you become a naturalized citizen you have to swear allegiance to the queen.

I don't feel great about pledging allegiance to a monarch. Especially when that monarch has no practical jurisdiction over me.

@xenon so...didja?

[Doctor Phibes]

He didn't. but I did. In two languages, what's more.

I reckon there are more pictures of the Queen in Canada than England

Can you get a burqa with faraday cage properties?

[Doctor Phibes]

Faraday cages are illegal in Canada.

The occasion has never come up since I was born in Canada - and therefore no one has ever asked me to affirm my allegiances.

[Doctor Phibes]

I didn't mind swearing allegiance, but doing it in French was a bit much. I'm pretty sure I could hear the sound of The Iron Duke spinning in his grave.

You were already a queen.

That article is from 2011. Jason Kenny is now premier of Alberta. He is also an inept populist premier.

I agree though tribal/religious face coverings should be forbidden in citizenship court and when receiving services in government buildings.

Frankly, I would ban them outright in all public venues.

On the other hand Churchill was a thorough francophile unless, of course, DeGaulle was present.

Indeed. That was well documented in the biography I read, LOL.
