LeadNow's Amplify Network

The federal election is well underway and the Conservative party has been burning through the biggest election war chest in the country. We cannot outspend them, so we have to be resourceful.

The Leadnow community has created one of largest email lists in the country, and a fast growing community organizing network in key ridings.

Woman in Niqab
Niqab: Radical feminism or female subjugation?

Chip in to keep stories like these coming.

Unexpectedly (or perhaps not) the wearing of the niqab has emerged as an issue in the Canadian federal election. Yes, that's right -- the Canadian federal election, not that of Pakistan or Yemen. And in the year 2015, not 1015. How is it that we are even having a discussion about how a very small minority of Muslim women in Canada dress in the context of determining the political future of Canada?
