00:06:30.920Now, what does this person do? At the university, Boettcher will oversee PhD students who are
00:06:37.040studying transgender philosophy. She will also receive funding from the Canadian government
00:06:42.680to continue her research into gender-based and transgender violence. This is your money, folks.0.99
00:06:49.420Canada has also poached Harvard Medical School's Peter Caravan and University of Washington
00:06:54.560biostatistics professor John Wakefield, among 61 other academics from around the world. Now,
00:06:59.940no doubt these people sound like they are incredibly smart, but what do they do? Caravan,
00:07:06.920a radiology professor, will be joining the University of British Columbia. In July 2027,
00:07:12.640Caravan, who was also native Canadian, will continue to research new medicines for diseases
00:07:17.460to give personalized treatment plans to patients, he told UBC. Well, this sounds really worthwhile.
00:07:22.700The thing is this, this isn't something new. It's not as if your tax dollars are funding something
00:07:28.820new that might benefit you and people of the world. The guy was getting paid previously by
00:07:34.280Harvard Medical School to do this work. Now, all you've done is given him money, probably a lot of
00:07:39.900money, to come here to do exactly the same thing. There's no gain here. Now, Wakefield, he's got
00:07:46.260this other guy here, John Wakefield, biostatics professor. This guy's doing great work, folks.
00:07:52.200Wakefield will also be joining UBC this September, where he will continue to study geography and
00:07:57.880inequality and how it shapes health in sub-Saharan Africa. Why are Canadian taxpayers paying for
00:08:03.580this? Because they get an endorphin rush because we're taking people away from Donald Trump.
00:08:09.000That's why. $541 million is actually more than that. Well, there's, there's, um, the
00:08:16.220okay. Wakefield told CTV News that Canada was a better place to study his niche as the country
00:08:24.340has a more positive and more realistic attitude towards these things. And I put in red, and other
00:08:29.240places quite close by don't, he slammed. That's because it's ridiculous. They won't fund it because0.94
00:08:35.800it's ridiculous, but Canada will. All three of the professors will be part of the Eddie Goldenberg
00:08:40.960Distinguished Research Chairs Program, a $1.7 billion 12-year program which is designed to
00:08:48.080recruit exceptional researchers to Canadian universities. Now, what is that? Ever heard of
00:08:53.620it? Well, it used to be another program. The Eddie Goldenberg Research Chairs of Canada program,
00:08:59.000one-time initiative designed to support institutions in attracting world-leading
00:09:03.360researchers into transgender philosophy folks whose work addresses critical national and global
00:09:10.040challenges. Wow. Transgender philosophy folks receive long-term funding and institutional
00:09:17.620support to advance ambitious and transformative projects in Canada's strategic priority areas.
00:09:22.880So it's called the Eddie Goldenberg Research Chairs of Canada Program. I thought perhaps there was some kind of fund put aside that had donors so they could put money into this to bring these people to the country. I looked up on chat GPT. The Eddie Goldenberg Research Chairs of Canada Program is funded by the government of Canada, not by a private foundation or by Eddie Goldenberg's family. Originally called the Canada Impact and Research Chairs. That's what it was called. They renamed it. It's still your money.
