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.'

That’s hardly a brain drain.

[pepsi_junkie]

at some point people with mental issues decided it was easier to create a new degree program so they could convince others that they were the sane ones, and students with mental issues threw away their earning potential to get a degree in nothing because it reassures them that they are the sane ones.

American Universities made a joke out of themselves by not just allowing it, encouraging it.

Poached? That's an odd way to put it.

I call it the market reaching a new equilibrium.

[Leaning Right]

The title is most definitely mocking transgender studies.

Sometimes the Daily Mail surprises the upside. This is one of those times.

Is this a variant of self-deportation?

[cgbg]

Canada—crazy leftists like California—but with way worse weather.

Lol.

> 'As a green card-holding trans-woman ... My family in Canada were very worried. I was planning to return to Canada...'

So she wasn't really "an American professor", she was still a Canadian, with a green card.

[dowcaet]

In this case this professor’s brain has already been drained.

[johnnygeneric]

“That’s hardly a brain drain.” Yep. The IQ of the whole of USA went up 20% if not more!

[chickenlips]
