“A new Canadian law forbids people from wearing a mask or covering their face during a riot or so-called ‘unlawful assembly’ in the country. The law carries a maximum ten-year sentence for anyone convicted of physically concealing their identity. The law does allow exceptions for those who are able to prove they have a ‘lawful excuse’ for concealing their face, such as for religious or medical purposes. The bill originally proposed imprisoning an offender for five years, but that sentence doubled to ten years after conservative lawmakers greeted the idea enthusiastically.”
