#1 Finally, a whiff of sanity from the North. Even though the ruling would affect very few women Muslim voters, it is the prinipal of the matter. Making even minor concessions to shari'a law gives it unmerited validity and legitimization that has no place in Western society.

#2 Fine as far as it goes.

He suggested in Vancouver Sunday that female staffers with Elections Canada be on hand at polling centres to identify women behind their veils, something a man could not do.

It does not go far enough. There is no reason a man entrusted by the Crown to act as an Elections Officer should be unable to identify a masked cultist out of sensitivity to her cult-beliefs. To do so violates the human rights of the Elections Officer and is probably unconstitutional. More important: What next? Should police have to wait upon a female officer at a crime scene?

Of course, in Canada, "Europe" and most blue states the answers are far from clear and the knees will jerk toward any demand the rape cult makes.

#3 What next? Should police have to wait upon a female officer at a crime scene?

Exactol, Excal! As YorkshireMiner says, "All Muslim demands are the thin end of an even bigger wedge." These ridiculous Muslim impositions must be strangled in the cradle. They lead nowhere save down the road to ~~perdition~~ shari'a law.
