Et Tu Canada?

After posting last night about the 101 most “dangerous” university and college professors in America, I got to thinking to myself, “what about Canada?” Surely there most be some people stiring the pot here in the great white north. I know for sure that I have more than few anthropology profs who were critical of capitalism, and I have been told that the university down the road from mine, Wilfred Laurier University, has a sociology department that is positively buzzing with Trotskyists, but who could the worst offenders be in the eyes of the Canadian capitalist system?

So, today I got down to searching, and I managed to come up with a list (much smaller than Horowitz’s) of the top professors who are earning the anger and frustration of Canada’s conservative mainstream. Do I agree with everything they may say or do? No, but what is important is that they do not follow the plan that is expected of them by those in charge. So who are they?
