Quebec's Ban On Peek-a-Boo Clothes

Quebec’s ban on people covering their face when giving or receiving government services has upset those who feel the government has no right in telling people how to dress. While some people feel the ban was designed to target women who opt to wear a niqab, perhaps it is intended to suppress the controls that religion has over people. You need to consider what many Quebecers endured a few generations ago living in a province dominated by the Catholic church. During the quiet revolution of the 60’s, Quebecers came to realize that they had enough of being told how to live their life. Perhaps the current opposition to niqabs is less about the garment itself and more about what it represents and that is an overt control of how a person must live. Quebecers may simply not want to be exposed to visible symbols that serve to remind them of how ongoing religious indoctrination can deprive a person of some basic freedoms. A woman can dress modestly without resorting to peek-a-boo clothing. Clothing that can be considered as scary is best saved for Halloween.
