Oh, FFS. Parents don’t want the teachers “crushed.” And they’re sympathetic to and supportive of the teachers and their strike. You know what parents really want? At a properly funded PUBLIC school system and manageable class sizes!

Ardent Anathema I’m not asking for anything, I’m not a teacher. I am saying that it’s probably reasonable to calibrate the wages with the average public sector increase. Are teachers asking for a 34% raise, I think 17% is a good baseline for the reasons I outlined.

Gil McGowan Angel Ford tried imposing a contract on teachers and used the notwithstanding clause. Didn't work out quite the way he expected. Is Smith capable of learning from that?

This year, Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill gave: Google an $18 billion tax break. Amazon a $16 billion tax break. Microsoft a $12 billion tax break. Facebook an $11 billion tax break. Now, they’re writing checks to Trump for his $300 million ballroom. Gee, I wonder why?

Trump announces new 75% tariffs today on Ryan Gosling, Sandra Oh, Chinook winds, pizzas with pineapple, televised instant replays, and Labrador Retrievers.

“Some kids are violent.” Sure, Premier — because schools are overcrowded, understaffed, and under-supported. Blaming students while ignoring class size is cowardly policy dressed as compassion. #abed #abpoli #ableg

“Come back to work, teachers. We’ll deal with your overcrowded classrooms after you stop striking.” That’s not leadership — that’s hostage negotiation. #abed #abpoli #HourOfLies #ableg

A “wage increase”? Please. Teachers have lost 13.2 % of their real income under Danielle Smith. She’s just re-branding a pay cut as generosity. #abed #abpoli #ableg

Section 33 was never meant for this. Using it to crush teachers’ rights isn’t “protecting kids” — it’s gutting the Charter for political convenience. Once a government normalizes that, no one’s rights are safe. #abed #abpoli #ableg

Asked why she’s obsessed with puberty blockers while housing costs explode and teachers strike — Danielle Smith: “I don’t accept that characterization.” Sure sounds a lot like Jason Kenney’s classic: “I reject the premise of that question.” Alberta’s Premier of Denial, everyone.

The One BC Party is actively striving to become the most racist political party in Canada.

On Dani’s Hour of Lies, she bragged about Alberta’s “strong economy” while defending the lowest minimum wage in Canada. Six years frozen. Zero empathy. Infinite bullshit. #abpoli #ableg #HourOfLies

On Dani’s Hour of Lies, she asked: “Why do we have 51,000 certified teachers and where are they?” They’re drowning in overcrowded classrooms, burnout, and underfunding. Maybe try visiting a school before making up the math. #abed #abpoli #HourOfLies

“Teachers aren’t essential services,” says Danielle Smith on her hour of lies — while legislating them back to work anyway. The only thing essential to her is control. #abpoli #abed #ableg

Apparently, fake Turkish Tylenol is worth spending on — but Alberta’s kids aren’t. The UCP will waste millions on optics, but won’t sit down to fund classrooms or support teachers. Priorities, right? #AbEd #ableg #FundEducation

"I want to be clear. I consider teaching to be the most important institutional vocation there is, in any community. That said, in my view, Alberta’s teachers are being badly treated." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…

I think the #1 question that Danielle Smith must be asked is, "Teachers have been working without a contract since August 2024. Wouldn't your government be in a stronger bargaining position today if you'd used those 14 months to make real progress on class size and complexity?"

Read that again. Danielle Smith would rather pick a constitutional fight than pay teachers a fair wage. Alberta’s kids deserve better. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli ⬇️

Dwayne Chomyn, K.C. The Province of Alberta has also run ads to influence American elections/mid-terms and US opinion starting in 2013 and continuing as recently as this year. I remember the now defunct CEC expressly wanting to make KXL an election issue in the US. It's not illegal, in fact Trump
