Alberta just got another approved referendum petition!
And this one calls for the practice of funding private schools with public money to be put to an end!
During the teachers strike!
Strap in Alberta, we’re going on a ride!

Well, I had hoped to sound like a Canadian who knows the prime minister wasn’t paying a compliment.
07.10.2025 23:26 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Nevertheless, Alberta private schools get our tax dollars at a rate of 70% of the per student funding that public students get. It's outrageous. And it must stop.
Private schools charge upwards of $20k a term and get to turn kids away who don't meet their narrow acceptance criteria.
Long wait for Smith’s office this morning, once I get through, my list is as follows:-
* Support for teachers
* Bruce McAllister firing
* Corey Morgan friend of Danielle trashing First Nations
* using 14mil for the pipeline that won’t happen, instead of helping orgs that need money 🖕🏻

Carney walks into the White House calm, confident, and unshaken and is standing up for Canada while Trump blusters about “conflict.” Leadership looks like this. 🇨🇦

Oh, I hope Canadians can hear the double meaning in that quote. He is a "transformative" president. Just not for the good.

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

Chaos agents. Unfit to govern. #ableg #abpoli #cndpoli #abed
The Premier and her UCP government have pushed Alberta’s education system to a breaking point by underfunding classrooms at the lowest level in the country for years.
We stand with teachers.
We stand with students.
We stand with Alberta families who deserve better.

I’ve seen a lot of rallies at the Alberta Legislature, but today’s Teachers’ rally had to be the biggest one.
#ForeverCanadian volunteers were there, collecting signatures.
Teachers, thank you for your support!!!
#ableg #abed
hear hear for Alberta teachers!
Danielle Smith wants to Americanize Alberta public education by voucher and charter, (ie privatizing it) through the utter BULLSHIT lie of 'parental education rights' in order to let AB classrooms be run by RW corporate think tank grifters and, of course, Jesus.
Pierre Poilievre says he’ll “talk to Trump” for Canada — even though no one asked him to.
He shares Trump’s politics, not Canada’s values.
The majority voted against him representing us.
We are not the 51st state.

#albertateachers week starts. Will it be 50 or 70 hrs? Who knows? 40 kids with complex needs waiting. Should be 23.
Resources cut. Infrastructure crumbling. No help. Abuse & violence. Employer ( #UCP) attacks professionalism. Says spend your own $ for worksite.
Sound fair? #abed #abpoli #ableg
Want to support #albertateachers #ATA #publiceducation going forward?
Write the premier! It takes less than a minute!

#UCP / Smith are using teacher strike for adequate public school funding to siphon even more taxpayer resources into private schools / homeschooling.
Despicable. Yeah, they are as slippery as all MAGAs.
Be informed, parents! Don’t fall for it!
#albertateachers #ATA #abed #ableg #abpoli
Alberta parents! Beware!
Don’t be tricked by #UCP bullpucky into giving up your child’s school …
