This should go without saying, but the best thing for Canada to do as the United States quickly spirals into fascism and corrupt autocracy, isn’t to try to seem more like the United States.

It’s to quickly double down on being even MORE Canadian.

That’s the big advantage, the big opportunity.

The best US scientists will move to countries that allow them to do leading edge research. And then the best students will follow them.

It's definitely getting better in Alberta. A few years ago it was the same thing.

In Alberta we've been getting BC cherries for a few weeks already. Taste great.

Almost all the reduction is from Canada. As a Canadian, I don't see this changing until or unless Trump leaves power.

The big hit for those universities will be with international students. They pay more on average and are a significant proportion of the students especially grad students who do a lot more of the actual teaching these days.

"Premier Smith and one of her ministers are calling on Alberta’s electoral officer to reverse course and sign off on a proposed referendum question on separation, saying it shouldn’t be held back by red tape."

Gee, I guess Smith and Amery really want this separatist question to be successful.πŸ€”

STEM courses often have labs that require specialised equipment and spaces. Upper level courses are usually much smaller as well. It is the entry level courses that are large and cheap to put on.
