Quite honestly, if this goes through, it should be the last straw for Quebec. If they want their separate society to include this, then it's time for that society to become a little more separate.
Quite frankly, I don't see how any court could possibly uphold this. It's a total infringement on basic and fundamental liberties, and it is a huge deal. This makes all of Canada look like a bunch of bigots. The fact that this is even on the table in Quebec, let alone the fact it is being democratically supported, sickens me.
The fact that Western Canada is providing Quebec with approximately 8 billion dollars in transfer payments makes this even more discusting. Time to turn off the tap. The idea of my tax dollars going to support this fascist garbage makes me sick.

The current situation in Quebec will never change. That province will always be doing something totally irrational in the name of preserving their French society or just to get attention, while endlessly siphoning billions from western Canada. This legislation makes Canada look really bad on the international scale, and lumps all Canadians into xenophobic bigots with no respect for someones culture and freedom of choice. Someone from Calgary could be in the UK and people would think "These guys want to blatantly discriminate against visible minorities" . They may not understand the regionalism that occurs in Canada, but would just read the news that a province in Canada has a majority of people supporting the governments racist proposals.
I think its time that western Canada take a good hard look at leaving. We would certainly be better off economically and just be able to watch Quebec and Ontario squabble it out with this kind of garbage for eternity without having to foot the bill.
