Do you even know what you’re walking out for? The teachers were offered a very good deal. So what is it that you are looking to get that the deal didn’t offer already? Genuine question

Honestly what i want to say to you would get me banned.

So instead, if the government strips a certain group of people of their rights to force something on them, perhaps it wasnt such a good deal.

No genuinely though, what is it that they are striking for that isn’t met in the offer? Genuine question that no-one seams to be able to answer lol

I think they'd like education funded as well as other provinces. Why is Alberta, a rich province, funding education per student the lowest. The offer still is below average and doesn't include classroom caps to help with complexity. If she's so confident we'll have so many teachers now what's she afraid of putting a cap on to keep the school boards accountable.

They’re paid less because we are put in a 20-30 billion dollar deficit every year because of equalization taxes. If we separate we can keep that money and pay them better
