I'd just look at it as how much the candidate really wants to be a part of the adopted nation
I like the hard line that Australia is taking with Muslims.
I also dislike the U.S. penchant for some to call themselves African American or Mexican America etc.
I am a Canadian of French decent. Not a French Canadian.
Muslim Canadians can go elsewhere if they want to call themselves Muslim Canadians.
Assimilation is the Canadian way. Lest we forget the Residential schools.

Outlaw the bra, the girdle, and the high heel.
Do those also create blind spots while driving?
Do they reduce Canadian safety?

This country should, in public. What they do in their own homes is their business. I always thought the reason they moved here was because the sh*t in their native country was getting to be too much!
It often is and to just import their garbage along with their better characteristic is foolish.
We want assimilation and not Muslim ghettoes like they are getting in Europe.

While I definitely see where you are going with that, I don't really see women in the West being forced to wear any of those items. Personally, I have no issue with the hijab. It doesn't cover the face and it's no more bothersome than the kerchiefs the little old ladies used to wear.
As far as the niqab and burka go, they are symbols of oppression. They are dehumanizing and have no place in Western society.
Safety wise, while driving, they all create blind spots.
We legislate against cell phones for safety and the same should apply to dress codes.
