Are years of underfunding and policy shifts straining Alberta's public education system a UCP plan to dismantle public education in favor of privatization masked as increasing parent choice?

It takes 10 years of full-time teaching and 6 full years of university to hit the number being shared by the Alberta government. #AlbertaTeachers

A strike isn’t what teachers want.
It’s what happens when every other option has been ignored.

From 2022 to today, the message is the same: Invest in public education. Invest in kids.

Oct 2022, thousands of teachers, parents & students gathered at the Legislature in Edmonton to say: Public education matters. #RedForEdAB

Today, those same concerns remain.

"Red for Ed” as a campaign started in Alberta around 2020, when Alberta teachers began using the “#Red4EdAB” branding and wearing red on Fridays and bargaining days to signal solidarity and to protest under-funding in education.

The worst pub I’ve ever been in was called The Fiddle. It was a vile inn.

The amount of hateful and intolerant language on X is disgusting. I don't go there often but when I do I'm reminded of why I don't go there often.

Yesterday I voted in Canada's federal election. The polling station was close to our house and it was a quick process.

As a Canadian, I don't get to directly vote for Prime Minister. I can only vote for those running to be my local representative. I can vote for the person who I think will do the best job or the person who belongs to the party I support. Ideally the best person also belongs to the party I support.

Ok. Now I need to see it.

Canada and Greenland know how to settle a land dispute. Check out the Whisky War or Liquor War. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_...
