I mean, I'd give you a hug, take you to my local pub which just so happens to be queer owned and does fundraising for amazing causes and introduce you to my friends and community. Hell, I have a spare bedroom if you want a place to crash while you get set up.
You aren't your government any more than the turds running my province (Alberta) are me. You'll most likely be met with sympathy for the challenges you face in making such a big move and admiration for having the conviction and courage to do so.
Like any country, there'll be jerks, but as a rule of thumb, we're pretty friendly.
Heck, if you want a vacation, shoot me a message and come visit and use that spare room I mentioned. Do you hike or bike? I'm in Calgary which is super close to epic mountain fun and incredible scenery. We've also got three cats who demand attention, and a guide-dog in training who is a goofy/genius puppy, so there's lots of pet-therapy available too.
Oh god I miss pet therapy. My cat died last year. A snuggly little manx named Ada Lovelace. I still miss her terribly. I dont have any downtime or spare money right now and I don't see that changing. A lot needs to go well in my life for me to be able to pull off this self-rescue, and I'm still in the planning stages but I appreciate the offer.
Completely understand and hugs. Pets' lives are too short.
