Subject: Does Quebec's Bill 62 perhaps contain a wise principle?

Dear Joe,

We really ought to value individual rights--but may call it licentiousness or arrogance when freedoms are pushed to extremes. We recognize that rights ought to be extensive, yet admit there must be a limit determined by the possibility of harm, or significant risk of harm, to others. The perennial question is always: 'Freedom how far?'

Is it not a sort of 'natural law', or at least human nature, that when two or more individuals enter into close contact or common business they fully expect to see each others faces? Close business or interaction is a 'trust and sharing zone'. It's not normal conduct to cover the face when transacting any kind of business, for the basic reason of not misreading intentions, and for avoiding deceptions, fraud, or malicious intents.

If a bureaucrat or public servant would not require to see the face of a clientele who is seeking a public service, where will it end? Perhaps the bureaucrat will someday wear a mask too?

Would we find it acceptable to be issued a traffic ticket by a masked officer? I think not.

Nor do we approve of the anonymity of the face-masked Black Bloc protestors.

Convenience store and gas station operators and staff don't want to serve customers who conceal the individual features of their faces by hood, glasses, etc. and are hard to distinguish. Staff find ways to discourage this. They have much experience with petty thefts, bad cheques, and periodic hold ups. It would be silly to protect in law the covering of faces during what are normally face-to-face interactions.

Teachers in secondary schools encounter many instances where it is essential that every individual student be recognizable and accountable. Though it may not prevent unauthorized persons from entering schools for drug dealing or intimidation, being identifiable by facial appearance is an important deterrent. It would be cause for concern if a student were noticed whom one could not identify because of a concealed face.

I think everyone (including bus drivers, theater staff, sports facility staff, mall staff, universities, etc.) who are responsible for operating a "venue" of any sort, have the right to the degree of transparency that uncovering the face enables. They should exercise this right for the safety of all others present. It's the wiser course to keep social interaction in our society individually human, not dehumanized and opaque.  Legally protected face-concealment could permit us--and in the end even encourage us--to behave as 'trolls'.

  Z. Landon, Simcoe
