Here’s an idea: rather than asking “why does SHE get a pension and benefits?” or “why does HE get a living wage?” why not ask “why don’t we all get pension, benefits, and a living wage?”
There is enough for all, it’s just about choices. #AbLeg
This is your daily pension announcement. The feculent arbitration edition! I have been asked for an update on the Top Secret arbitration between LAPP, SFPP and PSPP versus @aimcoinvests . It is progressing, with no end in sight just yet. #Ableg
Not sure why, doesn't matter now but registered for the Minister and Premier's townhall with teachers regarding the funding but never got the call. Luckily, I listened in on a staff member's phone. Heard a lot things on the call and I definitely have some thoughts about it. /1
Just a reminder before the Premier's televised announcement that the Alberta gov't chooses to fund our public education system the least. That they choose not to provide the resources for our students. They love to talk about choice, and this is one they should be ashamed about.
Let's wear #RedForEdAB to show unity with colleagues across the province including those who are bargaining on our behalf.
Public Education in Alberta deserves far better than the status quo.

Alberta is setting records for oil production & will lead Canada in economic growth for decades.....yet its students and their teachers endure #TheLeast funded education system in Canada.
Alberta deserves better.

New data from Stats Can shows Alberta continues to spend the least on public education of any province in Canada.
For public education, this is nothing new. It’s been our reality for years.
Alberta students deserve better. I wonder what the excuse is this time?
We inducted some of our new colleagues last week. It was great spending an evening together and learning more about each other. Welcome again and thank you for making us better! @atalocal3@WCPS72@albertateachers#WeAreATA
On September 20, wear purple in support of @CupeAlberta and our hardworking education support workers. 💜 Their dedication to our kids and public education is immeasurable, and it's time we ensure they receive fair wages. #paintABpurple#abed#ableg
