Hey, we had an applicant for a position in our department (History) who is from Toronto. She seemed pleasant, but you could sense that below the surface she harboured some, shall we say, rather left-leaning views. It was not blatant, but the subtle hints were there. Oddly, her specialty was the British Imperial era from the late 19th Century to roughly the mid-twentieth Century.
Not surprising to myself. There is a strain of intellectual thought in the Anglosphere that glorifies the achievements of the British Empire and then denigrate the current United States from a very left-leaning perspective. Plenty of such types here in New Zealand and Canada (both countries have Tory/anti-American-conservative roots, but in current manifestions is leftist). Most of the Oxbridge lefturers and professors in history also belong to this category.
I have constant (though goodnatured) battles between my wife, who was raised in England, and myself over which country has the best culture. While an American citizen, she still defends Britain and denigrates certain American societal and cultural manifestations (well, so do I). Some times shes right, and some times shes wrong (she certainly knows far more than me about tea). But she will cheerfully add that she much prefers living in the U.S. to Britain.
