Are the Toronto Sun's staff are running out of ideas and getting desperate now? Stupid article and video..I don't see anything funny about it because of their agenda..

Lol.

burka sales bout to go up

[Faemow]

Good ol' Sun news, agree with Simaahoy, nothing better to do with their time. How do you tell a conservative culture to remove ones garment? Utter stupidity on the Sun's part, good on the LCBO for not discriminating on culture.

Yes, we all know how frequently devout Muslim women buy alcohol. How will we ever distinguish between them and people pretending to be them with the sheer numbers?

Simple

after you ask for IDs. If they ask to see the faces: Blamed for Racism, and/or death threat.

****************. If they don't ask to see the face: get fined.


I pick option 2 as well

Doesn't change the fact that someone underage managed to buy alcohol.

I doubt many kids will try this, easier just to get an adult to buy your booze, or come to Quebec if you are near the border, that's what I did when I was a kid in Ottawa.

This pretty much smells of a newspaper trying to create a news story instead of reporting on actual news. What I find really funny is the fact that Muslims don't even drink alcohol to begin with.

Only out of sheer stupidity of the employees. He may as well have walked in there in the Toronto Raptor mascot outfit, they probably wouldn't have seen that as out of the ordinary either.

when people wear any other mask, they were told to take it off.

Burka is untouchable... in this country

The government should be asking them to show their face to identify them or else refuse any service. I just see this as a desperate attempt for the Sun to get the Burka banned, although I agree Burkas are not necessary.

BTW A teenager would not go through this hassle to get alcohol and the Sun did not report how many LCBO stores asked for id or how many they went to......

There's a sign in every LCBO that essentially says "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason". I've seen them use it often when known drunks come in the store and want to buy something. Is it really so hard for them to say "Hey, we need to make sure you're of age, and can't do that with how you're dressed. Please come back with a friend or family member that we can serve"? Anyone dressed in a full-body covering will understand.

My first thought too.
