Canada Veil

Canada's Quebec province Wednesday prohibited government workers and anyone receiving government services from covering their face, in a move critics say unfairly targets Muslim women who wear a niqab veil.

Political party leaders criss-crossed Canada on Sunday in a last-gasp attempt to sway many still undecided voters, the final chapter in a gripping and hard-fought three-way election fight.

New Canadian citizens must remove any face coverings, such as the Islamic niqab or burqa, while they take the oath of citizenship, the country's immigration minister said Monday.
