A Ban of ALL religious Symbols in CANADA!

Quebec, a province in Canada, is legitimately considering banning ALL religious symbols from work!!!!
Can you believe that? because I still can't. This is Canada, I expected this from France, who already banned it from schools and banks I think, or Denmark and Sweden, who's femen protists are pushing anyone with a religion to stop "oppressing women"  into wearing religious clothing, or even the US!
but, Canada? Canada?! the country that's stereotype is being peaceful and too nice? The country that approves of gay marriage for the past ten years? it's that free and open minded, and is striving to accept immigrants because it's lacking in population! That's the country that one of it's provinces is considering banning of religious symbols?
This means...NO crosses, NO durkas, NO hijabs, NO skull caps. Really? has those little things been offending anyone? I never get offended from seeing a cross or a turban or a niqab or even a skull cap and david's star. What bothers me is the israeli flag and that has nothing to do with religion!
i can't believe the country in which people encourage others to stand out, wear what they want, and feel no shame in self expression is banning symbols and clothes! Stupid Quebecois. And so far, the parliament is on the 'yes to banning' side, to the point that a woman has quit. She says this will only create more divisions, which is true!
imagine the amount of hatred and problems this will cause.

Quebec needs to realize it's still a part of Canada! it needs to realize that Canada made the decision to accept immigrants in the past few decades and that not all the immigrants they accepted are atheist. If they accepted us knowing we are hijab wearing muslims, and turban wearing sikhs then they should take the responsibility over their actions. Our lives are not a game to your amusements. We don't just change the way we dress over a click of a button.
I thought this was a free country. Where's the freedom in banning clothes? Isn't this the 21st century?

Shouldn't things banned be things that cause harm to one's self or others? I mean it's better to ban alcohol than it is to ban religious symbols.

What do you think?
