Wow, that's a pretty misleading headline. They aren't banned "in public", but in public service settings (public transit, schools)

Posted by: dubord.s on Oct 19, 09:21 in response to TJNFL1's post Quebec passes law banning facial coverings in public

They are still allowed to be worn in public. The law only targets "public workers and anyone receiving public services from wearing the niqab or any other face covering."

And while it's just been passed, it very likely won't hold up due to our Charter of Rights in our constitution, so it'll just be struck down.

How is a ban on "public transit" not a ban "in public"? {nm} TJNFL1 Oct 19, 09:44

Because you can still wlk down the street wearing a niqab or burqa. {nm} Antibody Oct 19, 10:27

You can walk/drive/bike anywhere, shop, eat at restaurants, work in the private sector... need I really go on?? {nm} dubord.s Oct 19, 13:32

Heck, you can even attend a sporting event, and kneel during the anthem if you want. {nm} dubord.s Oct 19, 13:33

Apparently in Quebec you can't take public transportation to the sporting event with a facial covering. {nm} TJNFL1 Oct 19, 23:32

But you can still go to it, which is why your initial point was blatantly wrong. {nm} dubord.s Oct 20, 07:29

Beginning your statement with "But" only points to the truth you are trying to ignore. {nm} TJNFL1 Oct 22, 01:43

The "But" is there because it's not ALL public areas (that you are insisting), but SOME public places. You're the one ignoring the facts {nm} JDolphin Oct 22, 11:28

Who said anything about "ALL" public areas? {nm} TJNFL1 Oct 23, 01:33

You did. Above post - -How is a ban on "public transit" not a ban "in public"? -- {nm} JDolphin Oct 23, 16:47

LOL - relying on grammatical rules (that actually don't apply in this case) is about as thin 'whataboutism' as I've seen yet. {nm} dubord.s Oct 22, 13:30

To be clear: the 'but' in this case was pointing out the MASSIVE flaw in your argument, which made it false. {nm} dubord.s Oct 22, 13:31

What is the massive flaw? Being on public transit is being in public. {nm} TJNFL1 Oct 23, 01:35

Because it isn't banned "in public" which implies all public settings, but rather only in very specific situations. That's a big flaw. {nm} dubord.s Oct 23, 12:46
