Merci beaucoup for those compliments, if you think I am a bleeding heart liberal then you are sadly mistaken and neither is Canada a liberal country. We are currently governed by Fiscal Conservatives(i.e. Steven harper) for the last decade or so and in fact most liberals prefer niqab or the sikh faith dagger over their personal security. Hence they have been decimated in Canadian electoral for the past decade for being clueless with reality.
I am not going to entertain your liberal talking points over an issue that has to do with safety of the general public and populace at large. Veiling and concealing your identity in form of niqab,veil, ski mask and others are all the same. Also I do not get your obsession with what we do here in the west as Pakistan is not remotely involved in this situation. What australia does about is their personal business and I hope the folks down there make the appropriate decision.
