GN -Quebec lists as its reasons for the face covering ban as: communication, identification and security, all of which are imperative I guess if you ride a bus or take out a library card. So take off your headphones, get your eyes off your cell phone for 5 seconds, remove your hat, sunglasses, winter scarves and beards and talk to one another. That might actually work to make Quebec more communicative and secure. I was not actually aware they had a security problem and I believe they already have language laws and you need a library card to take out a book so what problems are they really trying to solve? Are they forging a new path for women's rights? That hardly seems the case. As Trudeau said, although Wente fails to mention it, maybe if you want a society where you don't think women should be told what they must wear, maybe you should start by not telling them what they can't wear.  I am appalled with Wente's recent columns and am cancelling my subscription.
