The universities in the US and Canada are among the best in the world. The good professor has competed with people from the First, Second and Third World to get his job. Getting a job in a university in Toronto is even harder - a few of my friends and classmates are also professors at U of T.

Therefore they expect the workers to compete in the same way. That is not hypocritical. A guy who has a private Boeing 757 jet has less right to talk about workers. But Hilary is more "elite" than him.

Thomas Friedman said that when he was growing up, his mother told him to finish dinner because there were starving children in Asia and Africa. Today he tells his daughters to finish their homework because there are children in Asia who want their (future) job.
