President Donald Trump has been praised after it was revealed woke American professors are being poached by Canadian universities, including an academic who teaches transgender philosophy.
California State University philosophy professor, Talia Mae Bettcher, who is transgender, is among the many American-based educators who have packed their bags and headed north to Canada to become a part of the $541 million research funding project.
'I knew I had to leave,' Bettcher, who is a native Canadian but taught in Los Angeles, told The University of Waterloo, her new home.
'As a green card-holding trans-woman and outspoken academic in an area of study that the Trump Regime deems "ideological," it just didn’t feel safe anymore. My family in Canada were very worried. I was planning to return to Canada, leaving my job and my entire life behind.'
At the university, Bettcher will oversee PhD students who are studying transgender philosophy. She will also receive funding from the Canadian government to continue her research into gender-based and transphobic violence.
Canada has also poached Harvard Medical School's Peter Caravan and University of Washington biostatistics professor Jon Wakefield, among 61 other academics from around the world.
Caravan, a radiology professor, will be joining The University of British Columbia (UBC) in July 2027. Caravan, who is also a native Canadian, will continue to research new medicines for diseases to give personalized treatment plans to patients, he told UBC.
Wakefield will also be joining UBC this September, where he will continue to study geography and inequality and how it shapes health in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Wakefield told CTV News that Canada was a better place to study his niche, as the country has a more 'positive and moralistic attitude toward these things.'

Poop floats.
Oh no! How ever will American Academe survive???
What is Transgender Philosophy? They just make this shit up.
oh no, anyway
What is Transgender Philosophy? They just make this shit up.
They have no other career path than to teach this ‘topic’ at a liberal university. They have no skills.
What the hell is “transgender philosophy”?
So, she ADMITS that it’s “ideological” - that is what it is, philosophy.
Good, getting rid of these insane people and traitors.
If Trump can do that, then I’ll praise him. Scaring them away. Theyve been threatening to leave the country for 40 years, finally they’re carrying through. Keep going!
Truly awesome. We really should be encouraging many more of our leftists to move to Canada. Why stop at just woke professors?
How about a package deal - take one, get 10 more free?
Increasing the average IQ at both institutions.


Talk about self deporting.
I VOTED FOR THIS!!!!!
MORE ICE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Note:The now Canadastan poached professor Talia Mae Bettcher, who is transgender and professor of TRANSGENDER philosophy (An obvious double negative) will only last as long as he does not accept any invitations to visit the roof top Aloha Snack Bar on any Canadastan campus he's at............or maybe learn to fly...hopefully more of them will go north.....
transgender philosophy is a college degree?
Amen bro. Come on over.
I’ll gladly trade 50 “insert-grievance-study-program-here” PhD professors for one Gad Saad or Jordan Peterson.
Penny Pritzker is a trans. Yes, THAT Pritzker.
