A Turning the Page blog post

It’s just what I was thinking. Well, almost.

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne “is urging businesses upset by a so-called religious objections law in Indiana to set up shop in her province,” the Canadian Press is reporting.

I had been thinking of urging those businesses to set up shop across Canada — even here, in la belle province.

But if you are thinking there aren’t enough potential Indiana business transplants to go around, fear not: It turns out that “anti-gay discrimination is already allowed in most U.S. states,” the Toronto Star is reporting.

So, why not tap into the vein of bigotry threading its way through the United States and mine it for LGBT-friendly businesses — and their LGBT-friendly customers.

If you’re looking in here from the U.S., Canada has a mere 35 million people with lots of open spaces. Lots of fresh water, resources, and most important of all, many kind LGBT-friendly people. And we have excellent TV comedy programs like Schitt’s Creek . . . now where else in the world would a TV network allow a program with a title like that?

So, leave behind the bigotry. Come north . . .
