They say that it is their choice, im willing to bet if they decided not to wear it they would be shunned by their family and community.

The problem here is that noone told him to move to Canada was his choice

I hope these people leave our country cause issues are going to occur. freedom of choice? Ok then my choice is to hate Muslims and that is my choice so bear it and go back to your country, or wait till we get rid of Trudeau and you will be gone

I an sure u ve a country and u have a choice to go back to ur country

Crazy? So Canada is now seeing what its like when everyone thinks they can just show up and become a citizen after year's of shit talking the us on open boarders. The boy king is a moron and I for one am glad to see Justin having to eat his words. Sucks for all these poor folks who have been lied too.\nMaybe immigrating properly would have been the better choice.

This is strange, how they chose a subject for reportage. Refuge status is not for everyone who want to improve there economic situation. He must to prove that his life and life of his family was in danger, that he was discriminated and absolutely not have other choice, but ask for refuge in other country. It is very difficult to prove, even if it is true. 90% of all entry asking refugee status will go home. It look like he should try to make professional immigration and not waste his time on something that he never receive\nIt is amazing, how he feel in title, real refuge simply not have 15000$ to spend on lawyers \nJournalist must learn a little bit about subject before report on it.

No one choices where they want to be born... plain and simple.... \nIf we had a choice we would all be from the same country, state and city speaking the same language ...duhh!\nWe're all humans with brains, and common sense!

as muslim girl myself. Am definitely against niqanb or da full Hijab cuz it won't make u life easy so instead of wearing niqab u need to be productive member in da sociaty. It may be ur choice to wear, but definitely it's not a exuse not do anything to improve ur life rather blaming every n calling them racist

The last woman doen't now islam Islam she is using her own thinking or saying what she think is right. We follow the quran and the hadiths. It is important to at least cover it head hair it goes for man and women. the rest is ur choice if u want to cover ur face and whole body. Other then that muslim no matter woman or man should wear big clothes in which private parts shape r unable to be seen. Before anyone reply my question is learn about jesus and his mother marry what kind of clothes they use to wear and have ordered u to wear. If u don't follow his command then u should not call ur self Christians. Because this is not the only command u don't follow.

Laws are laws you seek asylum in the first safe landing not your choice of wherever whenever. Why then can I not leave Canada and go live in another country undocumented then when I fear deportation just go to another country? Because it's illegal yeah. Ugh we are not here to be used and walk all over like a doormat especially if you are not working and paying taxes but taking everything you can get. There are plenty of people in dangerous situations like ukrane and other war torn areas that legit need a place he and his family were already in the US they shouldn't have left there to make fake claims here. Sorry but that's not how it works.

Lol they claim they wear it because of their choice. Try going out without wearing it and see how your men treat you for not wearing it. Big difference. Try it so we can watch the results

That woman who said it was her choice to wear that hood of shame may think it was her choice but she was brainwashed into that direction from childhood. It's very sad.

They have no choice but to submit to their husbands and fathers.

CBC is bias all liberal Everyone should read what Australian Prime Minister has to say They can always make a choice to leave.Need to appreciate Canada This seems as a Race Baiting Channel

Maybe every taxpayer citizen of their country should do their own shutdown in unity and the government economicswill shut down because it will stop the flow of money and they need citizens money to make it work they would have no choice but to change legislation to protect their citizens instead of these citizens because all they did was use these do’s and do nots to make this socialism and make it work for them that’s why they do it it’s economic gain for them it’s huge profits

There are tons of successful blacks in Canada, not all of them are like Drake's dad wo goes to prison or runs out on his family. There are plenty of successful Jamaicans in Canada that are highly successful. Jamaicans and other of African Descent are doctors, lawyers, schoolteachers, engineers, IT REPS, mechanics, accountants, biochemists, cops, and so much more. That's because they have chosen to do the right things in life. Life is all about choices. People who are successful in life, are successful because they made good choices and good decisions early on. People who are a failure in life are a failure because they made bad choices early on and life and wouldn't listen to nobody and did what they did without any regard for the consequences. Choices. That's what everything in life boils down to.

Freedom of choice to wear a niqab.... Lets look at a big picture here folks. If everyone dressed up fully covered and someone commits a crime. Can you give me a description please? Its common fukn sense.... If people dont want to blend in with our way of life then you shouldnt be here! The liberals need out of power, they are going to ruin canada. Look at europe. Learn from the past!

Im sorry but its its a choice to wear the burka its not mandatory in islam .....do i get the same choice to use a face covering in a bank ect ?

THEY CHOOSE TO WEAR IT BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY CHOICE FOR THEM UNDER ISLAM. IT IS NOT A CHOICE.

Excuse me, nitpicking few women who wear this by choice in a free country, doesn't do any justification to millions of muslim women suffering due to Islam and its rules being forced down their throats on a daily basis. Good Luck Canada.. keep tolerating and turning a blind eye. You wouldnt know what hit you soon.

YOUR CHOICE IS BRAIN DEAD WHERE I AM CONCERNED.

LOL I wasn't forced into it, so being told from birth that to be a good muslim isn't force. Well I suppose that's technically true brainwashed people believe it's their choice. Well OUR choice is to hate the niqab

Those women is a BULLSHITTER, LIAR, Read Chapter 4 of the Quran, to see the real truth about Islamic standards for women, she is using Taqiyya, Islamic Deception, Liars by choice.

Freedom of choice doesnt mean you can do whatever you want. You cant urinate at a public square. You cant wear a sky mask and walk into a bank. Modern society works on trust,personal identity and openness and Niqab is against all these.

I just dont understand why those 2 sisters are in niqaab were not properly educating why the face veil...? They continued saying its their choice...!!! They had to clarify better why to cover the face.. It is also based on thr explanations of Quranic verses revealed and how the women companions had acted upon it. Secondly, it was to cover a women's beauty from the impermissible men for her, so that the strange men doesnt get sexual attractions to them. \nCome On sisters, please be educative to others, so that others get clarified.... Jazakallahu khyr

What Muslims don't understand is the psychological assault they are under, because of their great prophet. To have to die if you leave the faith or choose another is psychological assault. Religion should be a personal choice not made under threats of death.

the only part thats pissing me off about this is that they treat races and religions in the same way. you can judge people on their religions because unlike races its a choice. i have nothing against arabs but i do think islam is one of the dumbest religions.

stop making Canada ugly. What about other people's choices; How would you feel if every man would wear a baklava? Threatened, wouldn't you. We like to live in an open country where nobody has to hide anything. There are 57 countries that will appreciate your lifestyle and customs. Why making it difficult for everybody

just watched the national on the cbc and an muslim guest said that canadians are accepting, tolerant, kind, etc --- I ask why are muslims not? they do not seem to tolerate becoming canadian - accepting our customs and when confronted some of them are really agressive (but that's just my experience) ... and then there's MO, a good friend of mine (his name is mohammed but prefers Mo - he says it causes less problems in these times) why are immigrates against integrating into our customs - it seems to me our customs are pretty good. we don't believe gays should be thrown off buildings - we don't believe someone who steals should have a hand chopped off, we do not believe that an atheist should be decapitated. If you have a choice it seems you should choose to integrate. now you'll say my view is simplistic - but we complicate things too much - progess is mans ability to complicate simplicity (someone smart once said this)

2 years later....how sad , but There is one God! Amen they are a violent people Islam is not a Religion.they have no freedom thats it, it was not her choice!! wait, now you see how there were so much lies woman forget it, you , need to be aware way more all of you am not willing to loose my freedom, are you?? your choices , PLEASE.....

the choice is simple: become mentally ill or fight for liberty.

It's a high honor to wear the hijab? Then why do you take it off at home? If women are respected so highly in your religion than why are your mosques segregated? If it is a choice than why are women stoned to death if they don't wear it in countries like Saudi Arabia and why does it say you will go to hell on the Quran of you don't wear it? Why are men in charge of the women and why can they beat you when you are suppose to be treated respectfully when wearing the hijoob?? There is no light on Islam. It is just darkness and oppression. Christianity is the light of God

Muslims should be given their women choices of not to wear head covering in their every societies.

this scary bringing them the suspicios clothing mostly thats how the terorist look,you never know whats their carrying,this covering is for the pleasing of their weird husband whose mind is so narrow to trust for their woman, freedom of choice ,common this western whom you choice to live.its not islam country.

Terrorism has no religion. Niqab is a choice although I don't believe in it. Read Quran by yourself not by others minds.

Brainwashed ignorant...their choice? Ahahahaha!!! Ahahahahaha!! Ahahahaha!!???

Yes Canadian history books say there was no Slavery. There was some but it was very small percentage. The population in what became Canada was very small \n\nThere will always be prejudice, but \n\nLooking like an Albino isn't going to get you on a fashion Runway\n\nDrake is half Jewish...lets leave lying dogs to lie with this one. \n\nDwight Drummond --> was Token Black guy for CityTV after Jojo Chinto left -->\nHorrible choice, horrible voice, worst news Achor I have ever seen. And the sad thing is there was a lot of other talented black people out there.

It's their choice. Stop the hate.

Why do muslems in Canada say there proud to wear the burkas when women in Saudi Arabia don't have a choice? They cry over there that they have to cover there entire face but when the come to a free country they don't stop wearing it!!! And the say Islam is peaceful religion, but they kill ( not talking bout Isis) Christians, Jews, gays, women that disobey...blows my mind.. ?

In the quaran Allah encourages Muslims to be deceitful to non-Muslims in order to spread the ideal of Islam. When they say they wear the hijab by choice, I call bullshit.

Freedom of choice while expanding education is the right answer. It's definitely oppressive to wear it, but the government can't stop someone from freely choosing to wear it. Through education and intellectualism you defeat religious ideology of any religion.

These subconscious choices I don't think they are our fault. They are results of experiences we have had with people, actual real experiences, and by the way we were raised, and where we were raised. How can that be our fault? What matters is the actual choices we make. If we choose to not be prejudice, despite what our subconscious tells us, that is the best we can do. Is that right? Where else could these subconscious ideas be coming from? We got them from somewhere? Either from someone who taught us, or an actual experience, right?

Most cities ban wearing face coverings for a reason. I've obeyed those laws for 60 years. It's not Muslims choice here in the USA. It's the Law. If you break it then must be charged with a crime. When they say it's their choice it's just their way to mind fuck you. Bullshit!

Bad choice Bitch

Niqab is a very poor choice. Hijab is no problem......our won dear Queen wears one occasionally.

Islam is a religion of hate and war. Being Muslim is a choice, Muhammad the non profit was a pedophile and had sex with a child, and the Kaba is a pegan shrine gateway into hell.

I am exercising my hard-fought-for freedom of choice to wear clothes that represent a dangerously repressive philosophy that is sworn to create a worldwide caliphate or government under god with rules and interpretation of god's word coming exclusively from men.\n\nYou dont get to vote on issues like what to wear or anything else for that matter.\n\nHow can you claim to celebrate freedom of choice when you serve a religion that gives none? How can gays worship a god that wants them dead?\n\nSeriously, do people expect to arrive at the gates of heaven with their 'revised Koran' and expect to tell god where he went wrong?

I don't get why would women wear such a dress. I know that a lot of women do it because of choice as well and a lot of them are forced to. However, if those who choose to accept the nakab are essentially indoctrinated from birth.

Oh religion! You have so many cons that atheism seems to be a better choice for many!

The women who say it is their choice to wear the niqab is just brain washing. I don't believe them for a second.
