According to international orgs, Canada is more queer friendly in both public sentiment and legally. Just because violence isnt too common doesn’t mean there is no discrimination. As an androgynous presenting person 50% of the time, I have been verbally assaulted plenty of times both by far right and MLs in Germany.
One anecdote: Trans people do exist in rural Canada. The woman who sold me tires outside Saskatoon was I’m-pretty-sure-maybe-definitely trans and gave every appearance of getting along fine with her coworkers.
I can’t speak to her quality of life generally but anyway nobody has chased her off to Vancouver yet. I would imagine tire shops are probably on the worse end for harassment so if Saskatoon was hell on earth for trans people she probably wouldn’t pick a tire shop to work at.

Well that’s bullshit. And I’m from rural Alberta
Some in Germany. Though there are even larger cities that aren’t very queer friendly in Germany, especially in the east.
