#whatsmissing, @albertandp.ca: The AB government ad about the offer to teachers. The AB gov can help themselves as follows: When are new teachers and EAs hired? Schools are built when? Some teachers as high as 17% wage increase. Some is how many? (check below for the answer). Teachers are taxpayers.

Varcoe: Another Alberta and B.C. rumble — a 'fantasy' pipeline and the 'un-Canadian' response to it Varcoe: Does this sound familiar — a premier from British Columbia opposes a pipeline from Alberta that would move oil to the West Coast?

#whatsmissing, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Eby: "another pipeline costing billions of taxpayers dollars." Trivia question: Which provincial government helped chase away Kinder Morgan costing taxpayers 30B+ dollars to finish TMX? calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Does Alberta spend the least, per-student, on public schools? Maybe not. But it's definitely down there | CBC News The Alberta Teachers Association and the Fraser Institute, a right-leaning think tank, have both independently concluded that Alberta spends the least, per student, on public schools of any province. ...

#whatsmissing, @albertandp.ca, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Fraser Institute: "Alberta students score highest on reading science. The opposite of expectation if less spending hurt student performance." Teachers are the reason, but not sustainable is what they are saying. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#whatsmissing, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Why taxpayers had to pay 30B$ plus for TMX? (www.msn.com/en-ca/news/c...) Tanker Ban? (www.wcel.org/in-the-news/...) The BC and FED gov concerns about Indigenous rights when building BC pipelines? (www.bing.com/videos/river...).

A Pay Cut Disguised as a Raise (Share This) Why the March 28 mediator recommendations fall short on salary increases.

#whatsmissing, @albertandp.ca, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Something to consider when thinking about the current AB teachers strike. medium.com/@abteacher/a.... The link title is a little inflammatory, but details matter.

#CDNGov, #ThiTha: "Teachers have a LIMITED amount of attention and energy. If they can divide it fairly, then the smaller the class, the more individual attention for each student. Smaller classes, less noise and disruption." (p. 172). Past 30 students learning can decline sharply for every student.
