I don't understand how "feminists" can square this circle...  We, as a civil society, have enacted laws against female genital mutilation, but some how women that are subjugated under men it is all about "clothing choices"?  Either you are for equal treatment for all, banning face coverings, or you seem to be perpetuating keeping a woman down, making her invisible, and under a man's control.  And make no mistake, she is under a man's control, how many single woman wear a face covering?  We all should at least try and join the Canadian family, instead of standing outside it.  Accommodation to something like this isn't joining anything, just continuing the "old ways".  So why come here?  Isn't it for a better "Canadian" life.  Religion or values are always sacrosanct in the home, but in the great open Canadian society we ALL have to "accommodate" each other and get along...I can't do that if I can't see you, or if you are not allowed to join me.
