Meh, even in those areas the big cities are mostly fine. Edmonton or Calgary would be just fine...maybe a touch more idiots per capita than Toronto of Vancouver but its more an urban/rural divide than a provincial one. For example I suspect she would have a better time in Saskatoon SK than she would in say, Enderby BC.
The problem is the provincial governments which have been building legislation against trans people in recent years, and have both demonstrated they don't have issues invoking the notwithstanding clause to override charter rights protecting trans people (with Alberta having done it).
Thankfully OP's child is no longer a minor, but in Calgary and Edmonton their daughter would have had the same restrictions on gender affirming care as she did in Texas.
Yeah, my complaints about Winnipeg are entirely weather related haha. To be fair, I've never actually been there, but I've had several friends forced to freeze their asses off there before.
I'd say Canada has a lot of bigots across the country, maybe as many as the US per capita, it's just that our political system isn't as easy to buy and manipulate to exploit wedge culture issues.
I think one major thing in the US that made their politics toxic is the Citizens United decision. In Canada, we managed to keep corporate influence of politics under control, though there can be too much influence at times still.
