Should Canada ban Islamic face veils?

Today in France a new law banning Islamic face veils was put into action. Two women have already been detained for protesting against this new law. Anyone who forces a woman to wear a face veil can be put in jail for up to a year. Wearing one of these face veils will cost you a fine of 150 euros. There is many arguements about whether or not Canada should inforce a law similar to the one the French have inforced.

I personally believe that Canada should not pass this law, I dont even think that France should have even inforced this new law. Islamic face veil express religious freedom, and banning something as harmless as a face veil is basically saying to be apart of our country you cannot practice your religion or follow your culture. Personally I don't believe this is right.
