Look up neoliberalism and Libertarianism and you will find our Canadian Conservatives want to privatize education, health care and eliminate unions. Hence the UCP eliminating class sizes to make public school a mess and encourage more parents to use private and charter schools. The next step from The Smith government will be education vouchers which are being promoted in tge USA in Republican states. Their purpose is to destroy public education and privatize it. Likely sell off our universities as well. Smith continues to say she listens to Albertans yet does exactly the opposite in education, health care, RCMP pension plan, coal mining in the Rockies. All these issues the large majority of Albertans don't want. But rural Albertans are rock solid UCP even though the UCP is destroying their communities. The NDP is not socialist as I have never met a rural Albertan who can define socialism.
Is our public ed , public health, OAS, daycare, dental and pharmacare socialist? Because the UCP and Poilievre plan to eliminate them all! Source: 2025 book by Martin Lukacs called The Poilievre Project.
We don't know until we try! Even trying will possibly give these guys a wake up call. We are hopeful we can oust 5 of them - even better if any of them have any moral fiber they would cross over to the Alberta Conservatives or the NDP.
I have a lot of hope that Smith and her UCP government will be defeated in our next election. There are a significant number of more traditional Conservatives who are quietly very dissatisfied with the current gov't. Consider the less quiet Conservatives that have jumped ship to form a new party and Thomas Lukaszuk, another Conservative who started the successful Forever Canada petition. That can't be scoffed at.
The Education Minister is a complete disgrace! UCP have made AB a shameful example of gov't tyranny and a disgusting display of selfish policy driven win by any means necessary sham of a democracy today
Education has been underfunded by $18 billion dollars since 2019 due to the changes in the way the per student amount was calculated. This is a crazy amount of money and matches with the distress teachers are showing about what has happened to their work conditions.
Agreed with everything you said. It's time to stand up before there is no one left to stand up!
Yes! the story of the arrows, one arrow breaks easily but a bundle of arrows is stronger! We need to all work together.

Danielle Smith and her cronies are destroying everything that made Alberta great for everyone.
I hope Albertans wake up and vote her and her maga cult out.
Sadly I have little hope of this happening.

I’ve lived in Alberta my whole life so I am not optimistic.
I would like to be wrong. I hope I am wrong, but I am not getting my hopes up.
Much of that money has been redirected to private schools and Charter schools have increased from 15 to 37 - 247% fully funded.
We do as well that's why we are working on a #BetterAlbertaForEveryone
Recall this useless education minister!
