Thousands vowing to vote with their faces covered
More than 9,000 people are pledging to vote in the federal election with their faces covered in order to make a point.
Launched on Facebook by a Quebec woman, the movement suggests people have the right to vote while wearing anything at all, whether it’s a potato sack, a Darth Vader mask or a black veil.
The page’s creator, Catherine LeClerc said she started the page on her own in her living room after growing frustrated with the government’s inability to ban religious garb, such as the niqab, while taking oaths of citizenship or while voting.
But she denied it being against Muslims and said it’s more about transparency.
