@EdKrassen Dude, take it from a Canadian, your hyperbole screams ignorance. Ford is a mellonhead. He’d rather play chicken with Canadian lives than actually do something productive to help his province or the country. Don’t pretend you know what’s going on here from one sad little clip.
Ok - nice sign. Now - let’s talk about the details, ignoring sort of political spin as best we can.
The government is offering teachers a 12% increase, up to 17% over time with adjustments. I’m not clear on what teachers are demanding.
With a 12% salary increase, Alberta teachers will earn between $72,952.32 and $113,130.00 per annum - higher than all other relevant comparison salaries in Canada - combined with our lower cost of living and lower tax rates.
The government is also hiring 3000 new teachers and 1500 class aids. Seems reasonable to me. How is this “unfair” in your opinion?
From the ATA regarding current salary grids before the proposed salary increase:
@TrumpVVon 0% love the guy and he's done some great/fantastic things for free speech and tesla, SpaceX but with Trump he's not doing us any good. Trumps the Alpha in this case
@AnitaAnandOE Like I say.....who's your customer? Biggest customer? Politicians have never been very intelligent. This is why Trump is so awesome. If Canadian politicians think they can fight the USA in any war......troops or trade, they're just...stupid
@DRodbone Shouldn't have dental care, (they all loose their teeth anyway), if you have a kid the $10/daycare isn't any good. Provide for yourself make wise choices and get taxed less. Pretty simple.
@isaakethan @melaniejoly@MarkJCarney Yes being in a cabinet with government stuff is all exciting. Guess what...Schwab is a bad dude and it's gonna hurt your reputation in the future. Not a guy I'd be standing beside with big smiles and getting my photo taken with.
@LauraBabcock Mark carney moved Brookfield to NY, invested in foreign oil & pipe lones,solicited 1/4 billion from the CPP, and hid the profits in BERMUDA.
All while advising Trudeau to increase carbon tax and place restrictions on Canadian energy.
Canada is collapsing.
