“We looked at the precedence, we looked at the evidence. Sometimes very sophisticated schemes are very difficult for us to investigate,” he said.



Kudos to the parents, teachers, educational assistants and other advocates who pushed for enrollment growth to be fully funded for Alberta's 15,000 new students in September. While this will keep overcrowding from getting worse, we still need to properly fund school boards to reduce class sizes and increase supports for increasingly complex needs in Alberta's classrooms. Every child in our province deserves a fair start.

  • UCP WANTS TEACHERS TO DO MORE WITH LESS MONEY AND STAFFING
    I support the call by UCP backbencher, Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk, for mandatory EpiPens in schools and clear policies in each school to deal with medical emergencies arising from allergies.
    And I condemn this backbencher for her immorality in running for a party that promised to cut education spending at the same time as she has a clear agenda to demand MORE from our teachers. She is like so many Albertans in wanting to have her cake and eat it. "Less taxes, more services, smaller deficits," they scream, as if that cocktail is a possible one.
    I also condemn her for running for a party that may or may not care about saving lives of children with life-threatening allergies but zero concern for LGBTQ2S students. Why are some kids' lives supposed to be important to save while others are not?
    I'm sure we'll see more of this from the UCP and their supporters, and sometimes the MLAs themselves--a call for more public services with less public money. Come on teachers and other public servants--tote that barge, lift that pail. The UCP slavedrivers are coming for you.
