Your homeland The Netherlands has already banned the burka and other face coverings in a law similar to the one just passed in Quebec.

As to the influx of immigrants from around the world - made possible when Conservative PM Diefenbaker rewrote the Immigration Act and accelerated when Conservative PM  Mulroney greatly increased immigration quotas with an emphasis on skills - this has indeed enriched our lives economically and culturally.

But I am unable to fathom how a Muslim woman wearing a burka who I am unable to see or communicate with and who is making - albeit often due to male oppression - a statement that she is unwilling to reveal herself to and uninterested in communicating with me has "made my life more interesting as a Canadian". 

Please explain this seemingly vacuous statement reminiscent of Trudeau's twaddle like "diversity is our strength" to us.

Diversity - like most things in life - in some situations is a strength, in others like allowing the burka it is not.
