Full face covering is a political/ideological statement more than a religious one.

And the political/ideological aspect of Islam is frightening and a threat to peaceful progressive society.  It should be discouraged.  We don't need to import the misery and intolerance of every islamic society in the world into Canada. 

More and more "progressive" nations in Europe have come to this realization because they are seeing the effects of large scale islamic migration.   To believe that this doesn't create societal problems is naive to the point of self-destruction.
