When someone covers their face for a religious reason as opposed to someone who takes part in a public protest, I am of two minds. It amounts I suppose to having your cake and eating it too. In the first example I lean to yes, and in the second instance a resounding no.
What opinion do other Canadians on this subject?

Just like guns, a face covering can be used in the commission of a crime so it should be banned

No, I equated the word gun with face covering. I not surprised it went completely over your head. Understanding hypocrisy isn't a strong suit of hypocrites

Your words tard.

Turned out to be a sh*tty idea to skip those reading & comprehension classes, eh?

So can a car, a knife, a baseball bat, a hockey stick etc.

The ONLY time being in public with your face covered should be acceptable is Hallowe'en and the dead of winter. We live in an open society, hiding one's identity in public is not very open and goes against everything Canada has stood for for years.
It's funny too. While courts and politicians were busy making excuses as to why the burka and niqab shouldn't be an issue, they certainly had an issue with a fundamentalist christian group in Alberta whose women are required to cover their faces by "religious edict". They were told they had to remove their face coverings for things like pictures for drivers' licences, appearing in court, etc.

Funny how that works eh? Muslims in Canada are allowed to wear face coverings in certain places that christian fundamentalists aren't allowed to.
Christians aren't allowed to have organized prayer in our public schools. But some people are forced to pay TAXES to public schools that allow islamic religious instruction on the property during school hours. Since when does 3.2% of the population get to decide what the rest of us have to accept and do? In Ontario they account for just 1.5% of the population yet the Libtard govt spends an inordinate amount of time and resources genuflecting to them and appeasing them.
They'll hammer the shit out of someone who dares to publicly denounce islam and yet they allow islamist publications to continue printing their hatred and bigotry.

Or to put it bluntly; Certain idiots representing 3.2% of the population, with the backing of their bought and paid for politicians, expect the rest of us to integrate instead of the other way around.

Simple really.

Face coverings should not be tolerated on licenses, during oaths, while witnessing in court, or in any other situation that requires visual identification or an open view of the face to judge compliance or truthfulness.

But getting on a bus? Nutso.

Crackers.

Wellll, technically city bus service is a govt service sooo. But I see what you mean in one regard. Expecting bus drivers to enforce the law when they don't really have any authority to do so may be a bit much.

A face covered is not the same as having a 'gun in your hand'.
You finally admitting to being a hypocrite??

Nice uniform. Any advantage to have in skull and crossed swords? Kind of make them looks like a pirate

"Just like guns, a face covering..."

Yes, I know what I wrote....
The question was about did you understand what you wrote.

Should all guns be banned or just guns in the hands of a Muslim??

Agreed. If I go out today and see everyone’s face covered I won’t care at all. It has no effect on me. Hell, I cover my face a good chunk of the time when out during the winter. If you aren’t harming anyone wear whatever you want.

Instead of passing laws governing what women wear in public, why aren't we going after the Black Block types who hide their identity while causing chaos and havoc during protests. They are the ones we should be targeting, IMHO.

That said, I have difficulty in understanding those women who are saying that it is a matter of modesty. Strange that, as I never considered someone's bare face to be immodest in any way or fashion. In other parts of the world, the veil is seen as a sign of female submission to the men who rule their lives. But this is Canada where women have the freedom to choose their apparel so why they would continue a tradition of wearing a piece of clothing with such dark connotations is, I admit, beyond my comprehension.

We also live in a free country. If so,e9me wants to cover their face outside go right ahead. I don’t give a damn if they cover their faces or not.

And that bs you wrote about Christians is just flat out wrong. Organized prayer is very much alive and well in Catholic schools here. My niece goes to one. Also every Ontario taxpayer pays for those schools as well as the regular public ones. In the latter there isn’t organized prayer and there should’ve be. They’re supposed to be secular.

It wouldn't hurt my feelings if faces were exposed at all times in all places :)

You must live in a strange place where everyone is very attractive. There are some faces I’d rather not see.

Face recognition intergrated into CCTV is part of transit security and everyday life in general these days.

Abductions have been solved using said data that is collected from CCTV.

With bizarre, antiquated treatment of women part of Muzzie culture, it's for the safety of women.

There is nothing crackers about it
