Canada: Bus driver fired after he wouldn't drive bus with a rainbow Pride theme

Pink News story here

Bus driver Jesse Rau has a bit less to do these days. The Calgary, Alberta resident lost his job after he said he would not drive a bus with a rainbow theme. The bus had been decorated in honor of the city's Pride events.

From the article:

Jesse Rau claimed that driving the bus would be promoting a lifestyle he “can’t condone” – though we’re not totally clear if he thinks every bus driver in the world has to personally endorse everything that appears on every bus they drive.


Sadface!

In the USA, presidential candidates are flocking to appear in a picture with the almost unfirable bigot.

In Canada, every prime-ministerial candidate keeps him/ herself miles away from the busload of prejudice.
