Disheartened, retired teacher living in Alberta. “Don't give up! I believe in you all. A person's a person, no matter how small! And you very small persons will not have to die. If you make yourselves heard! So come on, now, and TRY!” Horton Hears A Who

If Danielle Smith wants Albertans to pay to see a doctor, she should call the election.
Albertans have had enough of the UCP, and they want change. Alberta's New Democrats are ready.

I am sure that this is for cause... And the cause is that Wylie is investigating the AHS procurement scandal.

Opinion piece from David King, former Alberta Minister of Education in a Progressive Conservative government, published in the Edmonton Journal (of all places), addressing the conduct of the UCP towards our public education system.
It is absolutely worth reading.

Maybe - here’s a thought - if we had more trained teacher-librarians in our libraries, we could help students find age appropriate books, and help older kids to process the emotions and questions raised by challenging material?

Teachers are being told to make do with overcrowded classrooms and zero support while the UCP refuses to fund new schools or plan for growth.
It's not neglect. It’s a conscious choice.
And it’s failing Alberta’s kids.
Let's talk about it. ⬇️

Danielle Smith and Demetrios Nicolaides don't care about your kids, about EAs making poverty wages, or about reaching a settlement with teachers.
It's not an accident; it's a choice.
Enough is enough.
We stand with teachers because we know we're #BetterTogether.
