The appropriately named rightblog, Climbing out of the Dark, takes on Canadian universities, sounding - not surprisingly just like its US counterparts - the alarm about 'leftist professors' in universities. COOTD prefers colleges, not just because colleges are primarily American institutions, but because COOTD claims they don't have those 'leftist' professors universities are wont to hire.
COOTD does not mention that the 'better education' supposedly offered by Canadian colleges won't get you a better job or even a good job, although it appears that is their only goal. However, it will give you a degree.
I'm not certain that colleges have fewer 'leftist' teachers or professors. But I do know 'leftists' make up a substantial portion of the university workforces because 'leftists' think, they value science and reason, they debate and they research. I'm pretty sure the college workforce is pretty much the same, except on a lower budget and with a more restricted goal.
If getting a job is all you want out of college, just send out a bunch of resumes, hit the pavement and save on college fees. It's much quicker. And without the life lessons offered by universities or even college, there's no guarantee you will ever climb out of that dark hole from which you are struggling to crawl.
Or if you really want an education, you can forgo higher education altogether, travel the world and visit libraries. Be forewarned, with that route it's a lot harder to spot the 'leftists' without a 'professor' label easily visible on those who may teach you a thing or two.
