Danielle Smith invoked the Notwithstanding Clause to force teachers to return to work last fall, but was no where to be found when discussion/debate was expected shortly after the decision. Albertans learned that Smith took off on a trip to the Middle East.

I think her words: ... "using a taxpayer-funded position of authority to advance a politically campaign raises concerns about the potential inappropriateness of said campaign"... will come to haunt her. Clearly this is exactly what the UCP is doing #abpoli #abhealth #abeducation

Keep pushing back!

This is a great interview! I'd not been aware of Vassy Kapelos before - great questions.

The UCP is using the notwithstanding clause to dodge the Charter of Rights for five years because they know their law won’t hold up.

In Question Period, the Minister admitted what scares him most: labour unrest.

Well, Minister... you’ve got it.

Even my Grade 6 students understood that the Charter of Rights is the foundation of our democracy. The UCP clearly doesn’t.They’ve used the Notwithstanding Clause once. Who’s next on their list?

#ABEducation “Teachers are leading us into our futures. We are the future doctors, future lawyers, future politicians of the world, and if we don’t have a stable and healthy learning environment then we will not be successful.”

— Matilda Barron

We have idiots for politicians now.

Fund schools!

The UCP chose to trample our rights.
We chose to stand up — for students, for families, for teachers, for workers, for all of us. It didn’t have to be this way.

Danielle Smith would rather silence teachers than listen.
We’re standing with teachers, students, and democracy — and we’ll fight any back-to-work bill they bring.

Alberta unions promises "unprecedented response" if Notwithstanding Clause invoked A coalition of Alberta unions say are urging Premier Danielle Smith avoid using the Notwithstanding Clause to order teachers back to work

"There are many avenues your government could pursue to negotiate with public sector unions that do not involve invoking the Notwithstanding Clause. We urge you to choose them."

Last Friday in #CalgaryFoothills there was a great event put together to support #publiceducation, students and #education workers!

Listening to the concerns of folks reminds us of what is important. Investing in education is crucial for our future!

"An educated Alberta is a better Alberta." She is spot on. Quality public education is a human right--see Article 26 on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. What we have in Alberta right now does not meet the criteria, and is not best practice. We can and need to do better. #ABEducation #ABLeg

#OpenData #OpenGov #ABEducation #ABLeg

🔥 Proud to stand with Alberta’s teachers & students today. This fight is about more than wages — it’s about packed classrooms, growing challenges & a govt that won’t listen. 💪 When we fight, we win. And when we win, every student wins.

I express my undiluted support for Alberta's teachers on this World Teachers Day. Everything the teachers want is to the benefit of society, and everything our benighted government wants is chaos.

Alberta to pay families of younger children should teachers strike Oct. 6, government says | CBC News The Alberta government will redirect money saved during a potential teachers' strike to payments for parents with younger children in public, Catholic and francophone schools.

So let's pay off the parents instead of just investing in education. #abeducation #abpoli #ableg #corruptcare #neverucp

I'm a tax payer, my kids already did their time.

I won't sit around allowing this to happen to kids.

They screwed up my kids' education.
It's no coincidence ALL the children in my family are right-wing conspiracy theory following fascists.
ALL OF THEM. 10+ kids
