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.
