I’m thinking more provincially. If you lived in ON, I could see it not being more LGBTQ friendly, but I’m in MB which historically is more socially left than other provinces, save for maybe BC.
Everything is so far apart that this kind of thing varies so much across different provinces and cities or rural/metro areas.
Well I’m sorry those you met didn’t seem to be as queer-friendly as you had hoped. If you ever come to MB, feel free to shoot me a message and I can introduce you to some people that will hopefully change your experience!
Ok yeah y’all must’ve had some really bad luck meeting people or something because we have a really big queer community here. That sucks, sorry about that.
If your friend ends up having to coming back here for cost reasons or anything (hopefully they get to stay where they want), let them know that the punk/alt and the art scenes here are quite accepting. Things like the punk rock flea market are always filled with queer people.
MB can be a crapshoot tho. Rural is all trash, the City can be really good tho if you’re in the right scenes. Everyone’s experience is different tho I guess. Same as always.

I lived in Victoria, BC. But I was meeting people from all over Canada.

my friend from MB left and won’t ever go back because they are queer and were persecuted there… they live in Toronto now.
different strokes for different folks.

Sorry for the derail, hope your day is nice!
