... pointed out that the bill would continue to allow voters options for identifying themselves: provide one piece of photo identification or two pieces of non-photo identification or have someone swear an oath as to one's identity.
"Until you have a universal piece of photo identification for all Canadian citizens, regardless, and require it for every voter, then there is absolutely no more reason to present your face (at the polling station) than your belly button."
Well exactly. After some pretty disgraceful behavior around this issue previously (which Godfrey about half admits was an attempt to pander during the Quebec by-elections), its nice to see that the Libs, as Adam Radwanski puts it, are losing the fear of their own shadows.

Maybe we should just be given an option of showing whatever part of our body we choose.
Conservatives could present their spinnerets or one of their retracted tentacles, or maybe some covered part of their exoskeleton or whatever...

Not a bad idea. Of course, then Liberals would have to show their backsides, since that's how they've been voting in Parliament lately.
*sigh*...Someone really needs to give the CONS lessons in the art of high insult.
All we ever get is a flatulent: "yeah...well you're ugly too!"
On-topic...It's about time Godfrey said something about this (he's my MP). Now, based on this explanation, I'll try to pin him down on why the Liberals didn't see what the rest of us concluded immediately.
