The Globe and Mail reports:

Yale professors who left the school and accepted positions at the University of Toronto are speaking out about the Trump administration’s attacks on post-secondary institutions, expressing their fears about authoritarianism rising south of the border.

Three Yale professors – all of them vocal critics of President Donald Trump – have recently taken up roles at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.

Earlier this week, philosophy professor Jason Stanley, who has written about fascism and propaganda, announced that he would leave Yale for U of T.

He joins professors Marci Shore and Timothy Snyder, who specialize in Eastern European history. The two academics are married and arrived in Canada last August, on a sabbatical from Yale. Mr. Trump’s re-election in November’s factored heavily into the decision to stay in Canada, according to Prof. Shore.

Jason Stanley is in philosophy as opposed to history, and he’s a smug enforcer of trans ideology, but Shore and Snyder are another matter.

Prof. Snyder has written extensively on tyranny. In January, U.S. Vice-President JD Vance tweeted that he was an “embarrassment” to Yale after the professor criticized the nomination of Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense.

Prof. Shore wrote the 2018 book Ukrainian Night about the 2014 revolution. The couple’s friends and colleagues protested in the Maidan; a student of her husband’s was killed by snipers, she said. Less than two years later, when Mr. Trump won his first election, Prof. Shore felt “an immediate sense of terror.”

She was not the only one.
