It's not just crossing the border. It's what happens if you're there, pop in to a burger place for something to eat, and you find yourself in the middle of a raid.

They'd be looking for people who are practicing psychotherapists to do a little teaching on the side. Clinical faculty on the model of clinicians who work in various health care professions and hold a faculty appointment to do some teaching. Which is what sessionals were originally supposed to be.

"Less patriotic than a literal separatist party" is certainly a look for Canada's Conservatives.
