According to the termination letter he posted, he was actually told he wouldn't have to drive that bus. So yeah, he was definitely soapboxing. Seems like he wanted to be a "martyr" like that fool in Kentucky who refuses to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
If he'd just kept his trap shut we would never have heard of him, he would have got his way, and he'd still have his job. Tough break for him that bus drivers in Calgary aren't elected.
I do have to wonder though if a bus driver refused to drive a bus with an ad for a church on the side, would the religious folks among us be standing up to defend his job and "freedom of speech".
