Glover v Holland

Just in from the desk of Shelly Glover, former police officer, and currently the Conservative MP for the Manitoba riding of Saint Boniface:

Today, Michael Ignatieff's hand-picked public-safety spokesman has crossed the line, by trying to play religious politics with the issue of air security.

Moments after Liberal MP Mark Holland unilaterally shut down a parliamentary review of media reports that some air passengers are not required to show their face, he said that the Conservatives would have to find another way to “take a run at the Muslim community”

This is a shameless attempt to play religion-baiting with what should be a non-partisan security issue. Even Muslim leaders have said that passengers wearing the niqab should allow confirmation of facial identity — a fact that the Ignatieff Liberals ignore in their shameless attempt to play politics with this issue.

This is a security issue, period. Not a religious issue.

Michael Ignatieff must drop his so-called “public safety critic” and replace him with someone who won't play politics with such an important issue.”
