- Title
The Canadian Selfie of 2015.
- Authors
POSNER, MICHAEL
- Abstract
The article discusses the case of Zunera Ishaq who affirmed her right to wear a niqab or a face-covering veil while taking the Canadian citizenship oath in 2015. Topics include Canada's commitment to openness and to social cohesion, the lack of transparency and the anti-women nature of the practice of wearing niqab, and the impact of the niqab issue on the loss of the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to Liberal Party's Justin Trudeau in the October 2015 elections.
