UCP MLAs are never crossing the floor because they are enriching friends, family, and donors at the expense of the public purse.
Public dollars to private education is enriching family of the UCP.
Public dollars to private health is enriching donors to the UCP.
It's a grift.

Reading is food for your mind. Like food, different reading choices serve different purposes. Some books are read for pleasure; some to satisfy a need. Some are like junk food; great as long as that's not all you eat. Some help to counter an imbalance in knowledge or experience. Variety is the key.

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”

We are adjourned. Bill 2 passed.
Not a single UCP MLA voted against dear leader's wishes, even in her absence. Every single one of them stood (many times) in order to strip teachers like me (about 51 000 Albertans) of our rights as workers.
Shame.

So far the GoA has shelled out (only what we know) $237.8 million (142.8M to Atrum and 95M to Evolve) to cover its mismanagement of the coal file
Meanwhile coal revenues for 2004/5 brought in a mere 0.4% of total resource revenues for AB or $15.5M.
And why is there no money for teachers?

Smith / #UCP: We can't afford another $2B over 4yrs.
Public - that's $500M / yr.
Smith / #UCP - So?
Public - You put $500M / yr into PRIVATE schools.
Smith/ #UCP - were hoping you wouldn't notice that.
We noticed. Put tax dollars into PUBLIC schools.

Parents saying after just 1 full week of a teachers strike that they are "losing their minds" because their kids are not at school are interesting.
Why did you have kids if you dislike them so?
You know, the kids will be alright. They deserve a BETTER education, and the teachers fighting for it.

The #ForeverCanadian petition needs a final push to get the required 300K signatures. If you're proud to be Canadian and think Alberta should remain part of Canada, PLEASE find a signing location and add your name! There are 241 AB locations, so it should be quick & easy 😁🇨🇦!
