Miller had Bruce Grey Owen Sound at niqab!

Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound backbench Member of Parliament and Clavering native Larry Miller made it clear where he stood on the use of niqabs, by Muslim women during citizenship oath ceremonies, on the Open Line with Bill Murdoch call in show on CFOS Bayshore radio. A federal issue that really does not have much traction locally, where the population of Muslim women is pegged at 70 of 103,815 people by Statistics Canada, however a riding very supportive of the war on terrorism and its military base in Meaford. "Frankly, if you are not willing to show your face in a ceremony, that you are joining the best country in the world. Then frankly, if you do not like that, or do not want to do that, stay the hell where you came from. That is maybe saying it a little harshly, but that is the way I feel".

And with that well planned, mistakenly spoke, apologetically unapologetic statement over the airwaves, Miller had Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound at niqab, knowing with absolute certainty and complete surety that he would carry the vote in mid October.

Though a ban on both the burqa and niqab plays better politics in Québec, enter the battle over Bill 60 Charte de la Laïcité ou Charte des Valeurs Québécoises which may have singlehandedly killed separatism, in 2014, Ontario has been somewhat immune up to now where one Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership candidate and former Harper Tory Member of Parliament and fellow backbencher from Cottage Country has actually used the immigration card to gain support and make a massive surge in the leadership race through multiculturalism. Obviously both are using the political vacuum on this particular issue to each advantage being a provincial leadership race for Patrick Brown and the local nomination for Miller, but I think a greater point to be made here is with such ambiguity made to keep the opposition well on the balls of their feet, where is the end point and long game to such activity which each go in opposite directions and rightly are counterproductive. Unlike their southern Republican brethren, Conservatives in Canada have staked a grand electoral claim for the win in the Pierre Trudeau Liberal multiculturalism they used to fight hard against especially during the Brian Mulroney years, the irony of which is not lost and yet has been openly found loud and proud in the most northern riding of Cottage Country Canada here in Ontario once hidden behind a shadowy veil of micromanaged politics and policy towards victory.
