@ABDanielleSmith And I’m deeply disappointed to hear that you “already gave the 1000 teachers in this year’s budget”… can you say “bargaining in bad faith”?!?!
@ABDanielleSmith@demetriosnAB You’re now pathetically saying that we already got this year’s 1000 extra teachers? And that you gave them to us in the budget in May? Bet the public doesn’t know this. Dare I ask about the 1500 EAs?!? #recallthemall
@MattJonesYYC I just found out that the privately run but publicly funded Expedium orthopaedics clinic in Calgary is closing as of Dec 31. I can’t begin to explain how frustrating this is… What are a person’s next steps now?!?! My hip replacement needs to happen!
@demetriosnAB Where are the 3000 teachers?!? Where are the 1500 Educational Assistants?!?! We have yet to see ANY and we’ve been back for more than 6 weeks!
@nut_meggy PUF funding in Alberta has changed drastically since 2020. Many students with diagnosed needs no longer receive targeted support, leaving teachers and schools to fill the gap. #AlbertaEducation#SpecialNeeds
@DaleNally_AB Nice timing, Dani! Maybe you could be focusing efforts somewhere else…. Oh, IDK, maybe on 700K+ students & 51K teachers are on strike?!? But no, you go have fun announcing the fun licence plate nonsense… with your transparent Strong & Free motto… 🤬

4 UCP MLAs who stand to PERSONALLY benefit from private/charter schools: 💰
- Danielle Smith, Premier
- Rob Anderson, Chief of Staff
- Rajan Sawhney, UCP MLA
- Tyler Shandro, former MLA
Now you know why there’s a strike.
The UCP sees education as a payday.
@McAllisterBruce That was despicable. You should be fired for your complete lack of respect for Albertans, especially the youth of our province. And nice try, but definitely not your first offside comment. Typical…
@RajBhardwajMD@coffee_outside His posts were one of the reasons i have stayed on X… he was such a voice of reason, health, & wellness. Such a talented human. My condolences to his family and friends…
Instead of hiring educational assistants or addressing classroom sizes, Danielle Smith would rather ban books like The Handmaid's Tale. (Yes, that's really on the list of banned books here in Alberta.)
Just fund the darn schools, Premier.

Alberta has 718,000 students - they are the LOWEST funded in Canada.
Instead of helping them, Danielle Smith handed $1.3 BILLION to one man.
Underfunding kids is a choice.
Tell the UCP: enough is enough.
Sign a fair deal. Now.
@CalgaryIg @UCP@demetriosnAB Our school budgets are already so tight, it takes a big chunk of money to give teachers release time to complete, not to mention more work of sub plans (any assessing should be done by the classroom teacher)
