Quebec passes law forcing Muslim women from wearing niqab while using public services

Apparently this applies to staff at the Provincial and municipal level providing public services (including public transit), as well as those receiving the services.

The bill requires citizens giving and receiving public services to do so with their faces uncovered, and is seen as "... necessary for "communication reasons, identification reasons and security reasons."

@Salix75 hoodies are banned when entering savings & loans or banks here in my city, as well as sunglasses, hats, face scarfs or niqabs. Hoodies can be pulled down.

@cherokeepatti wasn't aware of this. Makes sense to me

@Salix75 It wasn't to single out any ethnic group, a real safety reasons. The high school kid went out of his way to wear an old man mask and suit to get by with his robberies.
