That's the headline in this morning's Montreal Gazette.
An Angus Reid poll says that "Ninety-five per cent of Quebecers support a proposed provincial law barring the face veil from government offices, schools, and other publicly funded institutions...in the rest of Canada, three out of four people give the thumbs up to Bill 94, introduced Wednesday by the Charest government. The bill would require all public sector employees to have their faces uncovered, as well as any citizen using government services; for example, someone applying for a medicare card or paying her car registration."
I don't think it is any of the government's business what women wear; freedom is freedom and freedom is in place not to guard the norms of society but things that are not the norm.
