When we lived in Toronto 20 yrs ago I saw more than 2 face covered Islamic women each day just traveling to and from work. Of course the 2 that I saw could all be the same person who could tell and that is the point. I also grew up in east Africa and we lived in a Muslim majority town. Until I saw full face covering in slides my parents took I denied ever seeing the full face covered in the country where we lived. Egypt and Yemen very probably yes. Lots of women wore the head covering, Copts, Protestants and Muslims and I would react very negatively if government tried to restrict such head covering.
