What is the best way to achieve this change? What is a better method, convincing the parties to change or forcing them to?

So they go to France, and France says, no wearing burqa's, as we don't want people covering their identities, and they would have a problem accepting that because, why?

Bollocks!
The Middle Eastern countries you are referring to our Muslim countries while Canada and France are secular nations. As such, in the latter the laws are not, and should not be, made according to religions beliefs. Furthermore, if it is an identity problem you are trying to eliminate should we not ban youths from wearing hoodies and ball caps?
