That makes sense, it is a really cool story and I love that the donation from the philanthropists to create an international feeling of solidarity between Canadian and U.S. neighbors has been so effective of a symbol AND practical space for things that are denied reality elsewhere for so long to so many people.
I was making a broader joke about the sentiment of people in my country (US) attacking other people and then loudly complaining the victim is a jerk for reacting in an unfriendly way, but you are right, this architecture and organization simply could not exist in an intolerant or overly bigoted place. The very architecture of the library and performance venue subverts and challenges bigotry, isolationism and xenophobia in a way that doesn’t allow those kinds of beliefs to casually slip in the back door like they do in other places.
