    I think FT will find that it’s not poaching; that’s just where the educators fleeing the US landed.

    Canada’s not trying to woo US educators to Canada; they’re trying to be more attractive than Germany and China to those already leaving.

    But as this trade war ramps up, we’re going to see an increase in this “Canada stealing our <insert thing here> rhetoric out of US media.

      Probably on some things, even if it’s blatantly false. However, I don’t see “Canada is stealing our scientists/researchers/academics” as being of concern to a large part of the US voting base.

      Seems like they would consider it ‘owning the libs’.

      That would make some more sense, given that we’re cutting scientists from the public service.

      A title from a non-american source with actual journalism would say “Scientific community flees American fascism. Canada accepts academic refugees and supports their research.”

    “Poaches”? Who uses that word? Like researchers are animals for poaching?

    Ahhh

    FP, if you don’t like what you’re seeing so much, go back and tell your masters to properly support researchers, like they’re humans with lives, and not fuck em over.

    But oh wait, your masters fucking hate that!

    Well, go pound sand then I guess.
