"In Quebec and Canada we are not necessarily used to seeing a woman with a veil," Trudeau told reporters. "That makes us uncomfortable. We wonder why she is doing that, is she required to do that?

"But if you want to prevent women from being forced to wear a veil, maybe you don't want to be a society that forces women not to wear a veil."

What a mess of a statement that is from the Prime Minister.

So, is Trudeau saying the problem with the burka is only that we are not used to seeing it and if hundreds of thousands of Muslim women wore the burka in Canada then it would be OK?

Then he seems to be saying the burka is not good so we should shut-up about it in case it encourages more Muslim women to wear it, or encourages their husbands to make them wear it.
