OTTAWA — Elections Canada refused Monday to bow to political pressure and force veiled women to uncover their faces before voting, putting the blame on Parliament and the Harper government for the legal confusion surrounding the issue. But MPs from all parties continued to put the heat on the agency, calling on Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand to reverse his decision or appear before committee if he refuses.

And this just came in from my friends blackberry:

Check out the photos of how some people dressed for the
by-election in Outremont.  Now that you
don't have to reveal your face there were people wearing gas masks, pumpkins,
etc.  I am
definately dressing up to vote for the Ont election.
