Canada to join Talebans in enforcing dress code on women

[viper37]

Fausse equivalence.

A l'ecole, elle passe chaque jour devoile.  Ici, elle replace le niqab sur le moment le ceremonie est terminee.  1000 heures > 1 heure.

("Devoile" might not be the right word, although literally it should be.  I am learning your Taliban ways.)

Non, elle entre en classe, elle se dévoile.  Comme on enlève sa casquette ou sa tuque en entrant en classe.  En sortant de la classe, elle remet son voile, comme on remet sa casquette ou sa tuque.

She is Revealed!

Also, viper is going to be pissed, since royals are visiting Canada again for the 60th aniversary of our Queen.

don't care about visits.  I feel the same as if Lady Gaga was visiting us and waving her hand for her millions of worshippers.

Most important is the niqab/burqa  double standard. Even in a non secular and "multiculturalist" state such as Canada.
Québec got it right from the beginning.

I don't get why it is a "double standard" to require people to have their faces uncovered when necessary for purposes of identification, but not otherwise. 

Get in class, remove the veil as you remove any cap or hat.  Get out of class, put the veil back on as you would with any cap or hat.
Get in the room, remove the veil for the duration of the ceromony, swear your oath, leave and put the veil back on.

One takes off their cap as a show of respect and modesty in western culture. Keeping a veil on is a show of respect and modesty in theirs. So it's not the same.

Fuck their culture, they ran away from it afterall.

It's not functionally the same. There is no particular functional reason why people remove caps or hats indoors. There is a functional reason why one wants to know who is swearing an oath.

butwhy does it bother you that they wear a veil? Does it effect you in any way? i get, and agree with, making them show their face to identify themselves, but beyond that what's the point?

  Quebec seriously has a law that requires people to remove their hats or caps in class?

Wow. 

Does the law also mandate which presents can and cannot be given on birthdays?

Because it is a slap in the face of my culture, you know the one they desperately needed to join?

Also, I disapprove of expressive religiousness that is not from tradition.

[Razgovory]

Pft.  People slap my culture in the face all the time.

People do that to my culture everytime beans are put in chili

I guess that's why it doesn't bother me - what's the "culture" of Toronto anyway, other than a buncha banks? 

People don't come here because of our fine tradition of hat-doffing, but to make money and live their lives without excessive hassle.

Making up unnecessary laws just adds to people's hassles. My notion is: I don't tell them what to wear, and I reserve the right to ignore them if they attempt to tell me what to wear.
