“I started to walk forward and then she's like, ‘Hold on. You need to put something over that if you're going to come onto my bus,’” she recalled, adding the driver accused her of not wearing a shirt. “I'm wearing a shirt, it's called a crop top. I bought it in the shirt section of the store. I know it's a shirt.”

"My bus". No. The transit provider's bus. The community's bus.

Suspension or GTFO.

We all have the right to go topless here in Ontario. Not so in BC?

If I recall correctly, BC was the first province to legalize toplessness.

I don't think that matters, she shows the clothes she was wearing and it's just standard summer fare. Why are we even talking about what she was wearing though, who cares. Shirt? Check. Shoes? Check. Service? Lacking.

Still, I am curious. Hope that is okay?

Topless is OK in BC. we have nude beaches if anyone feels like having less than topless

Ontario has nude beaches also, but I think they are more tolerated than permitted. Gwen Jacobs won our right to go topless here in the 90s. I was always so fucking impressed. She allowed herself to be arrested and then used it to change the system.

I remember that, I was living in Ontario at that time.

Where could one find those beaches? We love nude beaches in other countries but I wasn't aware Vancouver had them.

Wreck Beach in Vancouver is the renowned one. https://www.wreckbeach.org/ There are other smaller ones around ,for example http://crescentrockbeach.ca/ What used to be a very chill nudist scene has now had some issues with fully dressed male losers with cell phones out creeping. Typically they will get challenged by the other male beach members, but it just ruins what used to be a nice natural hangout.
