And that is over three years, so 1000 teachers in the first year, for over 1400 public schools in Alberta. Not even one full time equivalent for each school.

When I read a comment on social media saying, “I had 40 kids in my class 50 years ago. So what? We were fine,” I want to 🤯.

I think he’ll ignore it completely and tell himself it never happened.

Our PM is a Canadian. That means

#1 he has a sense of humour
#2 he loves hockey.

We can all use a little chuckle in this world. Thank goodness we have a leader who can lift our spirits AND keep the country on track.

What does this post have to do with a Canadian hockey team, friend?

No, I know. I meant if it WERE naivety, I’d have sympathy, but in this case, absolutely not, because they knew what they were voting for.

Exactly. If it were simply naivety that caused them to vote for 🤡, I might have a bit of sympathy, but it was the racism, cruelty, misogyny, and homophobia, so zero sympathy from me. In fact I hope they all suffer greatly so maybe they will smarten up.

A very good reason why Alberta cannot separate from the rest of Canada. Do you think an Alberta army would be a match for the American army? Trump would love our oil, natural gas, lumber, and water.

I started teaching in Alberta in 1980. I’ve never seen so much public support before. ❤️ People get it! These conditions are not sustainable.

No worries! It sounds like there will be hundreds of petitioners there.

Western Standard. Pfft! It’s run by Derek Fildebrandt, who was too much of an embarrassment to be in the UCP gov’t, so now he is head of the propaganda rag for the UCP.

I hear that constantly, often from Danielle Smith. That is why a separatist movement exists in AB. Say a lie often enough and gullible people will believe it. AB is the 3rd richest province. A separatist told me if AB separated it’d be the 3rd richest country in the world! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Phone Danielle Smith’s office today (780-427-2251) and leave the message that Bruce MacAllister must be fired for his unprofessional conduct. This is not his first rude, condescending, embarrassing interaction. He is not fit for the job. (His salary is $14,000/month of taxpayer’s money!)

JanSk8rFan 🇨🇦🍁 @hearitagain.bsky.social · 16d

Everyone phone Danielle Smith’s office (780-427-2251) tomorrow (it’s closed today for Truth and Reconciliation Day) and leave the message that Bruce MacAllister must be fired for his unprofessional conduct. This is not his first rude, condescending, embarrassing interaction.

I encourage everyone to phone Danielle Smith’s office at 780-427-2251 tomorrow (it’s closed today for Truth and Reconciliation Day) and leave the message that Bruce MacAllister must be fired as moderator of these sham town hall meetings for his unprofessional conduct. He is an embarrassment.

Many things should be more efficient, I agree.

You’re okay with spending $10 million per day on a service that is under used? Doesn’t sound fiscally responsible to me.

Dani is constantly claiming that AB is the richest province. It’s 3rd (after Ont and Que). People in AB hear this lie so often they believe it’s true. AB is also not “carrying the rest of 🇨🇦 on its back.” GDP: Ont 38%, Que 20%, AB 15%. She knows better but she lies.
