As a matter of fact, a large number of comments who favour the ban and call the niquab what it actually is (which I will not repeat so I don't have my comment erased again) have been deleted by the G&M. If a poll or a referendum were  conducted, 90% of Canadians would be against the niquab. On the other hand 100% of the articles and editorials on CBC and G&M support the blessings of the niquab. Reminds me of the Pravda in the good old days of the Soviet Union.
