Now this opens up a legal can of worms.
The easier way out for this driver is to talk to Calgary transit to arrange him driving another type of bus. And I do think this driver is making a public stand against the Pride movement due to his religious belief. But he should be protected until the Freedom of Speech doctrine, should he not be?

Freedom of speech does not protect you from job-related consequences, no. If you go around your workplace openly being a bigot, you will get fired. The same should be true of this tool, even though he worked for a public employer.
Also, his terms of employment probably prohibited him from talking to the media about Calgary Transit related workings. And yes, being a twit on social media can cost you your job as well.
Dude wanted to make a futile stand, and got what he deserved.
