Justin Trudeau and Stephen Harper

Stephen Harper: The Liberal leader says Harper stance - which the Conservative party has enthusiastically embraced to rally support, raise money and pad its voter data base - is unworthy of a prime minister in such a diverse, multicultural country, according to CTV. Harper said it offensive to hide one identity while joining the Canadian family and Justin Trudeau says Stephen Harper is pandering to fears about Muslims with his insistence that no one should be allowed to wear a veil while taking the oath of Canadian citizenship. Harper sparked the criticism after vowing last week to appeal a court ruling that allowed a Muslim woman to take the citizenship oath without removing her niqab, a religious face-covering garment that leaves only the eyes exposed.
