Wait a minute.

The premier of Alberta:

Eid Mubarak!
Wishing all Albertans who celebrate Eid al-Adha tonight peace and joy, and many blessings for the year ahead.#EidAlAdha #ableg #abpoli pic.twitter.com/LSA47PDUrz

I’m all for politicians being welcoming and affirming and all that, especially of groups who are targets of hatred and scorn…but putting on hijab to do it? Women are targets of hatred and scorn, and one version of that is forcing them to wear uncomfortable stifling concealing layers of cloth, often on pain of violence or even death. I don’t see why Notley couldn’t send a friendly Eid Mubarak without putting on a Modesty Garment to do it.
