>Those are new grads and frankly most Canadian CS programs are awful to the point that if you are forced to hire one of those, may as well hire an Indian contractor remotely.

Presumably you exclude Waterloo, Toronto, UBC, and McGill from the list of awful programs. What do you have in mind? Brock? Guelph? UVic? UPEI? MUN? Lethbridge? USask?



> Brock? Guelph? UVic? UPEI? MUN? Lethbridge? USask?

A lot of those are likely mediocre, but probably ok(I have never encountered a grad from those programs admittedly), but many aren't even coming from undergrad CS programs but from the diploma mill colleges like Seneca and Sheridan that hire fake professors or from one year masters in CS programs. Don't get me started on the career colleges, one of which offered me an instructional job in my third year of university.


McGill doesn't have a particularly good CS program. Not even the best in Montreal actually


I'm surprised to hear that. I know that "AI superpower" is a punch line, but isn't Center for Intelligent Machines supposed to be at the heart of it?


Université de Montréal is a bit more involved in MILA and AI in general, hence the "not even the best in Montreal"
