If you want to migrate to Canada, be like the Canadians. Canadians don't go about hiding their faces in public and don't make demands that other folks accommodate their way of thinking. If that is the way you have been brought up to think and act, wouldn't it be better to stay put from migrating here or better still to admit it was a mistake to migrate to Canada and buy your airfare home?
Kudos to the moderate Muslim lady who said: "When people come to Canada we're not coming to the Islamic Republic of Canada". About time Muslim Canadians realized that fact along with their lefty apologists. There is always a breaking point to how much even the most tolerant of Canadians can take. Quebecors have reached it.... when will the rest of Canada stop accommodating the childish demands of the Muslim community because they fear their tantrums ? Good parenting means disciplining your tantrum throwing child, not turning a blind eye and hoping the child will grow out of it. Won't happen. The child will grow up to be a bully and an anti-social misfit. In the same sense, good government means the same thing as good parenting.
......The woman began taking a French course designed for immigrants at a Montreal college in February but she refused to remove her niqab while men were present. The college was initially willing to accommodate her, but eventually balked as her demands escalated.
According to a report in a Montreal newspaper, she was allowed to give an oral with her back to the class and asked men to move so they wouldn't face each other. The breaking point occurred when the woman again refused to take off the niqab, though teachers had stressed it was essential they see her face to correct her enunciation and facial expressions.
In what appears to be a highly unusual move, provincial Immigration Minister Yolande James intervened. Officials from her department, acting with the minister's knowledge, met with the woman to discuss her options.
"The government has specific pedagogical objectives in its French courses," said James's spokesman, Luc Fortin. "We couldn't accept that these objectives, or the learning environment in the class, be compromised."
Several groups, including several teachers' unions, applauded the government for drawing a line in the sand. So did moderate Muslim groups. "When people come to Canada we're not coming to the Islamic Republic of Canada," said Raheel Raza, a Muslim women's-rights activist who has argued for a public ban on religious face coverings.
"We are coming here because we want that freedom, we want the separation of church and state." ..... read this feel good article here
