Strip teachers' rights.
Reduce them to 2nd class citizens.
Impose rejected settlement.
Do the "concern for kids" cosplay.

She came for teachers' rights.
She'll come for yours too.

We live #UCP/MAGA neglect of #PubEdu every day.

She set aside teachers' human rights.
She will set aside anyone's, anytime, for any reason.

#UCP/MAGA have shown their cards.

We have been warned. #ableg #abpoli #abed #ATAStrike

Fellow Albertans! LOOK at the list #UCP/MAGA put us on.

We are human rights pariahs now owing to Smith's cancelling of teachers' rights.

#UCP claims that they will won't hammer any of us with the notwithstanding clause again. Come, ON!

We are smarter than THAT! #ableg #abed

Calgary's Webber Academy owns a 530 acre (Springbank) 4-diamond baseball park of which two are full-turf.

Webber Academy gets OUR Tax dollars while charging $20k a year in tuition and cherry picking their students.

Does this school look like it needs tax dollars?

Calgary's Webber Academy performing arts centre.

Webber Academy charges $20K a year. Every year.

Webber Academy also gets YOUR Tax $.

Seventy percent of what public kids get. They can turn kids away. Pick & choose. Be exclusive. So why does #UCP give them PUBLIC funding? #ableg #abed #abpoli

Do. Not. Forget. This. Image.

#UCP are MAGA.
Smith, Harper, Poilievre are running the #IDU & #Project2025 playbooks.

Inform yourself on the Notwithstanding Clause & what it means for a Gov to set aside our Charter Rights.

#UCP / Smith are using teacher strike for adequate public school funding to siphon even more taxpayer resources into private schools / homeschooling.

Despicable. Yeah, they are as slippery as all MAGAs.

Be informed, parents! Don’t fall for it!

Greedy teachers, eh? Bullpucky. (Thanks D Smith Parody for the image)

Not about $ but about overcrowded & complex classes. It's about kids' learning conditions (= teachers' working conditions).

The #UCP con that it's EITHER better classrooms or decent pay is a false dilemma. #ableg #abed
