Nenshi knows he has a snowballs chance in hell of getting re-elected again. He has screwed up too many times in this last mandate. It doesn't matter what he says now, it won't make a difference in his re-electability.

CBC thinks he's a demi-god.

Goldstein is sour grapes because he knows Nenshi landed a good hit with that rebuttal.

Kenny's 'you people' remark literally translates to 'I am the oppressor'.

And that's exactly the irony of this whole situation as it is contrasted with our judicial system and the Conservative motivation to dictate the law in this country.

When it's not about votes..

Trudeau, Mulcair go on the offensive over niqab issue in 2nd French-language debate

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau went on the offensive over the issue of the niqab in the second French-language debate tonight, turning the issue around to attack Conservative Leader Stephen Harper concerning his own policies regarding women's rights.

Mulcair and Trudeau oppose the Conservative government's ban on the wearing of the face veil while taking the Canadian citizenship oath. The right to wear the niqab was a hot topic in the previous French-language debate and has continued to be a campaign issue. Polls suggest a vast majority of Canadians support the Tories on this issue, but the strongest support is in Quebec.

Mulcair admitted that the face veil makes him "uncomfortable" and said that "no one here is pro-niqab."

But he accused Harper of using the issue as a massive distraction, and that instead he has ignored more important women's issues like an inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women.

Mulcair asked Harper why, if the niqab issue was such a priority, did he wait so long until the election to make it an issue, and accused Harper of playing a "dangerous game."

Really? So this has absolutely nothing to do with the right of women to not be oppressed? Are you sure about that? You know, because left-tards love making everything about racism and bigotry.

Forcing them to remove it is oppression you fool.
