More U.S. academics are looking to Canada amid Trump’s crackdown on universities. What does it mean for schools here?

Amid the turbulent Donald Trump presidency, many American scholars are considering relocating abroad, including to Canada. Some here view this potential influx as a “brain gain” for the country, but others worry it could exacerbate existing problems in the post-secondary system.

Critics argue that the arrival of U.S. talent could limit job opportunities for Canadian academics and intensify challenges like underfunding, program cuts and faculty layoffs. They warn that while attracting top scholars may be beneficial, it could hinder the development of Canada’s own academic and research capacities.

Are the Democrats drifting further Left?

The Democrats are at a historic ebb and now is a good time to examine what the party believes in, who its main protagonists are and what their agenda is. Amid the fraught divisions in the party, however, one faction is emerging strong: the Big Red One.

That the Left of the party is in the ascendancy is evident at both the local and national level. Rather than let the fallout of Donald Trump’s tariffs speak for itself, the new head of the Democratic National Committee engaged in mad fighting talk. Ken Martin said: “We’re coming. This is a new Democratic Party. We’re taking the gloves off.” Martin draws his support from the likes of prominent anti-Israel figure Attorney General Keith Ellison. He is also a close ally of Left-leaning Minnesota Governor and Kamala Harris running mate Tim Walz, who just released a textbook for students that echoes Critical Race Theory, including an attack on “racial capitalism”.
