Why Did Gad Saad Leave Montreal?

Gad Saad left Canada for the United States because it became untenable to remain in Montreal, which he calls a hotbed of Islamic takeover. He is now at Ole Miss. Tenure is what made the earlier decades possible. He says he could never have existed for many decades in academia without the protection tenure afforded, even though politicians usually scoff at tenure. Eventually, he says, it catches up.

The job itself arrived by chance, which he calls the magic of the serendipity of life. He was railing about something about Canada. He thinks the post was about Canada on X. A gentleman replied that Ole Miss would love to have him. Saad has a big platform and says a reply often goes unseen, but he happened to be there when the man posted it and answered at once, asking for an email. He thought the man was only a talker and would not follow through. The next day the man did follow up, offered to connect him with someone from Ole Miss, and they held a Zoom meeting for an hour. Right after the meeting, the man asked whether Saad could come and visit Ole Miss, and then the offer came.
