"The European Court of Human Rights came to a similar conclusion regarding the ban on face coverings in Europe, "to protect the rights and freedoms of others" and "guarantee the conditions" of "living together"."

In Canada we take a stronger view of individual rights and freedoms than they do in Europe. For example, in France they have a law that punishes people who call for a peaceful boycott of Israel. Fully constitutional, say the French courts. It wouldn't last a day in Canada. Call it our pioneer spirit.

I have no idea what "rights and freedoms of others" the ECHR was talking about. No rights and freedoms are infringed by women who wear face coverings in Canada. If a government wishes to violate a Canadian right, it must prove that there is a "substantive and pressing need" to do so. It doesn't get to trample rights simply because it's politically popular.
