See how much money your school profs make
So Ontario has something called The Public Sector Salary Disclosure act. Here is a brief description from the Ontario Ministry of Finance website.
The Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996 (PSSDA) and the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Amendment Act, 2004 were passed to make Ontario’s public sector more open and accountable to taxpayers. The Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act requires organizations that receive public funding from the Province of Ontario to disclose annually the names, positions, salaries and total taxable benefits of employees paid $100,000 or more in a calendar year.
Interestingly enough, this allows you to view the exact salaries of individual professors at colleges and universities across Ontario. You can even see how much your dean or even school president makes! Every professor doesn’t seem to be on the list, but there were more than a few that I knew by name. Turns out the president of UOIT, Ron Bordessa, made $289,499.96 in 2008. Not bad at all!

If a professor isn't on the list does that mean they make less than $100 000?

That's the conclusion some other friends made, but I don't really know.

Wow… I think the highest earner is the president of Guelph… $434k.
