Reading the comments posted on the Chronicle Herald site regarding this incident are almost even more disturbing that this story itself. Sure, there are guidelines. People need to be aware of these. However, arguing that "suicide bombers are a common occurrence in 2009" and "this is canada, so you need to adopt to our culture or leave" is Definitely not the answer and is so ignorant I am lost for words. Suicice bombings ? Men chopping heads off on Buses ? WTF does this have to do with a woman wearing a veil. If someone wanted to infringe on someones safety they could/ would do so wearing a veil or not. Theoretically every grocery bag on a bus could be filled with tortue weilding devices. Yet bus drivers do not check these bags "to ensure our safety". If you are so concerned for your safety on a bus, you should probably buy a car....ride a bike or walk. Canada is diverse. That is what makes it great. These people suggesting that every culture but their own should "get with it", should (however, probably never have) never travel anywhere. If you dont speak French, dont even think about travelling to France or India. What about your 5 star all inclusive english speaking resorts in Cuba/ Mexico/ Dominican ?? These people have completely changed their culture to suit your ignorance. If they were to adopt the same practice, you would be shit out of luck. Pay them some fucking respect and read a book on cultural diversity.
