Once it became clear Donald Trump would become the next president of the United States, enquiries about studying at the University of Alberta began to come in.
It wasnt a deluge of interest, says Britta Baron, associate vice-president international, but it was enough that people noticed.
And it wasnt just prospective students putting the feelers out; Deans were also getting queries from academics and professors looking for job opportunities north of the 49th Parallel.
The climate of uncertainty swirling through the United States may not be enough to force American students to reconsider their Ivy-league aspirations, but it will, Baron says, encourage international students, who now face a Trump America with its caustic rhetoric against foreigners, to look elsewhere.
Its worrisome, Baron says.
Its creating a sense among international students of, well, maybe thats not a good place to go and study anymore.

They are probably likely to get LESS indoctrination there than a conformatorium here.
WINNING!
Good for them! Maybe all those celebs that said they were going to Canada and wherever else will get themselves up and go.
Good in about 3-4 years, there will a Canexit from the current lefty government.
Every time a leftist leaves the U.S., an angel gets his wings.
What? Two calls?
They’ll love it kanada. Most teachers in kanada hate the US so every lib will be “at home”.
I know, I’m from BC. BTW, Alberta may be the most pro-US province as it’s the home of the PM’s who like the US. Home also of the oil sands and infamous “western separatist” movement. Think TX of the North.
Post Of The Day!
I wonder how many plan to go to Mexico?
Conformatorium? What a word!
People of Alberta are hard working, very industrious and quite self- sufficient. I know this because I have encountered many of them building their second homes and businesses in Mexico. I would not wish this tainted influx on them.
Another benefit of Trump’s win. The lib university snowflake enablers get the hell out of Dodge and move to Canada.
They’ll get a dose of REAL winter and be on the next flight home. The 2 weeks in January where the daily HIGH is -25 will get their attention. So will the 6 hours of daylight.
“Its worrisome, Baron says. “

No it isn’t,it’s delightful.

Good the freeloaders will relocate to Canada. I see this as a win!
Go, lefties. It’s very cold in Canada but there is a lot of free heroin, courtesy of Red China, in Vancouver. Enjoy your slow death.
He who worries last worries most!!!
One mans worries are another man's relief.
I'm especially buoyed by the thought of many leftist professors locating north of the the 49th Parallel!!!
