Yes! Me too. Calgary and Edmonton schools are so extremely overcrowded. The NDP already has Edmonton, and the UCP's complete failure to care about these overcrowded schools should lose UCP votes in Calgary. 🤞🏻

That's a good point. Cushy appointments after ruining this province.

I sure hope so, though looking at what they're trying to do with the electoral boundaries definitely has me worried. My riding would become an absolute nightmare.

I suppose that could work in our favour if she continues trying to appease her squeaky wheel far right base. Come election time, the rest of us living in reality can vote her and her party out.

I can't decide if turfing her before an election is good. If they have a different leader they get to act like a whole different party, like they don't own every garbage decision over the past 6 years. They certainly did that when they booted Kenney and were successful.

I suppose the Premier ousting two MLAs for sticking their necks probably helps keep the rest in line.

And yet...
I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but it has me both stumped and worried. Is this a scorched earth situation? What on earth are they thinking/planning? Why do they not seem to care that there is growing dissatisfaction with them and their crap priorities?

Thoughts? (5)

This is not a government that seems at all worried about re-election. They've got the Alberta Republicans and the rebirth of the PCs threatening to chew chunks off either end of their own party. The NDP's popularity has also grown in recent weeks. You'd think this would have them worried. (4)

This same government has totally messed up priorities that don't align with the public's priorities. Albertans are worried about cost of living, healthcare, education, to name a few things, but the UCP is zeroed in on anti-trans legislation, a provincial police force, separation, etc. (3)

As a teacher, I'm thinking specifically of the whole lot of them voting to use the NWC when the majority of the public was not on their side during the whole strike. And then I think of the absolute disdain shown by the Premier, ditching the whole ordeal and flying off to Saudi Arabia. (2)

PowerSchool is the system that a lot of divisions, including the one I teach in, use for attendance, reporting, etc. It has nothing to do with curriculum.

Thank you, Sarah! ❤️✊🏻

Wanda at Community Health in Lacombe is a superstar. After several phone calls back and forth, she managed to book all three of us (on three separate days 😵‍💫) to get our vaccines. The UCP is 100% responsible for how much time and effort this took. Just absolute chaos.

I am currently writing my UCP MLA about this. I'm sure I'll get a form response like last time, but I don't know what else to do right now. Guess I'll be spending the whole day on the phone trying to talk to a human. Hope you have some luck!

Called Community Health (bc we have a kid), and was told there's a waiting list AND the childrens' vax is multi-dose, so they need 4 kids to come at the same time for the same vial. We live in an area with low childhood vax uptake, so I guess we're SOL. I hate the UCP with every fibre of my being.

I'm a teacher, so I have access to this too, but thanks!

I'm glad the ATA is refusing to back down on that. If other provinces can make it work, surely Alberta can also phase it in.

Thanks! Not sure how I keep missing this stuff. 🥴
