Damn these character limits.

As I've said, while I don't agree with the veil I have to agree with the woman's choice to wear one. I can see how you feel this is a way to subjugate woman and reinforce the "property" aspect of a male/female relationship but isn't it better to allow the woman the opportunity to remove the veil in her own time rather than forcing her not to wear one? Isn't that just a different form of forcing an external viewpoint on her?

As for "numbers" whatever you meant was somewhat unclear. The wearing of a veil is still rare in Canada and terms like "mass immigration" are meaningless. What quantity is "mass"? What reduction in the current immigration levels would mena that it is no longer "mass". And frankly even with our current immigration levels, the number of women wearing a veil is very, very low.

Yes you, and we, should always be concerned about our freedoms but I don't see that there is much evidence that Muslims in Canada are to be feared.
