I have had my disagreements with him but here he is totally right:
OTTAWA — The Conservative government will not follow France's lead to consider banning the burka.
"In an open and democratic society like Canada, individuals are free to make their own decisions regarding their personal apparel and to adhere to their own customs or traditions of their faith and/or beliefs," said a spokesperson for Justice Minister Rob Nicholson. "We have no plans to introduce justice legislation in this matter."

Of course he is right, but why would he een need to say this?
Isn't it kind of like saying we have no plans in Canada to decriminalize theft?
Sometimes it's called sending a message.
France has been a good friend to Canada under Nikolas Sarkozy. But considering the amount of power he holds to head something like this off, he Fed up.
Gayle,
Good point, I am a bit tone deaf!!!
