That’s all fine or whatever. But fuck you U of T for finding the money for lifelong positions these people whereas U of T would have never created the same positions for Canadian scholars. Same thing happened back in the day of the Vietnam War and the Kent State shooting - all my profs when I did my undergrad were draft dodgers from Vietnam and/or left the US after they shot and killed students at Kent State. Now today we’re getting even more US ideology infiltrating our country because the US voted in a fascist.
If reporting the Smith screed, you can also include these details in your complaint.
It may also be reportable to the RCMP as potential violation of Canadian Criminal Code, Section 122 Breach of public trust.
Proving breach of public trust under s. 122 should include:
[1] ☐ identity of accused as culprit
☐ date and time of the incident
☐ jurisdiction (incl. region and province)
☐ the accused was an « official » (holds « office » or is « appointed or elected to discharge a public duty »);
☐ the accused was acting in connection with the duties of his or her office;
☐ the accused’s conduct represented a serious and marked departure from the standards expected of an individual in the accused’s position of public trust; and
☐ the accused acted with the intention to use his or her public office for a purpose other than the public good, for example, for a dishonest, partial, corrupt, or oppressive purpose.

That phenomenon is called false consciousness.
