Muslim women in Quebec who wear a burka or niqab could soon be required to uncover their faces to ride a city bus under a proposed provincial law.

fucknomontreal:

The bill, Vallée said, is unlike the PQ’s failed values charter in that it doesn’t target religious symbols. The law would also apply, for instance, to masked protesters.

“We’re talking about having the face uncovered. It’s not what is covering the face,” she said.

Yeah, no. Call us when it’s -40 out and people aren’t allowed on the bus til they’ve unwrapped their scarves, removed their hoods and (god forbid) peeled off balaclavas.

(heads up @allthecanadianpolitics this garbage again)
