This!!! Utter incompetence!

I've had a great conversation with someone who knows how vaccines are ordered and distributed. Let's see where the blame lies for the vaccine shortfall in AB this year. A bit of necessary background. Vaccines are not like regular drugs. For something like penicillin - /1

Can the next article be about how difficult it is to access a COVID vaccine in Alberta? The Smith govt. has to go! #abpoli Canada Is About to Lose Its Status as Having Eliminated Measles nytimes.com/2025/11/06/wor… via @NYTimes

@DebatingChris As a 30+ year resident of Airdrie, Rocky View Schools were bursting at the seams in 2023 and for at least 15 years prior. This is complete spin and BS! Although I’m happy for the complex student who has an EA and an OT! Certainly not the norm!

@demetriosnAB No, you don't. If you wanted the same things, you would be at the bargaining table, and class size would be on the table.

@LGSentinel @EM_RESUS Growing up, every time I had a cough my mom put mustard plasters on me. Now, the smell of dried mustard gives me PTSD - haha.

"The total private school grant was increased by 10.3 per cent in the 2025 budget. The hike was just 4.5 per cent for public schools, well short of inflation plus population growth. Per-student spending on private schools is expected to grow to $544 million by 2027-28." #ableg

@MMarie_W @TheRealThelmaJ1 @grok The sad part is you never know.
It seems like it could be within the realm of possibilities so you have to ask to confirm.

@PeterGuthrie99 I was disappointed by the results of the last election - 2 UCP MLAs for Airdrie. Health Care and Education are both a mess and the way professionals in both are vilified by the Smith govt. is appalling! Thank you for your integrity to stand up to the UCP corruption and spin.

Professionalism, Leadership, and Neglect
Today marks the first day of job action as teachers across the province raise serious concerns about classroom conditions and the lack of supports for students. I stand in support of educators and families, and hope for a timely, fair resolution to this difficult situation.
Unfortunately, this is more than a labour dispute, it reflects a profound failure of leadership by the United Conservative Party. From the outset, the UCP treated negotiations as a political battle rather than a good-faith process. Standard practice is to maintain confidentiality in order to preserve trust and foster compromise. Instead, the UCP broke that trust, rushing to the media with a distorted version of events designed to sway public opinion.
At the same time, they launched a coordinated advertising campaign vilifying teachers. The timing and messaging make clear this was a pre-planned strategy, not an honest effort to find solutions. After provoking educators, the government tabled an offer they knew would be rejected—then used that rejection to justify further attacks. Meanwhile, they unveiled a cabinet-approved childcare subsidy plan costing an estimated $200 million per month, clearly timed to coincide with the strike and shift the narrative.
Let’s be clear: it is the UCP, not teachers, using children as political pawns. Instead of investing in classrooms and improving outcomes, they spend public dollars on division and distraction. Their goal to “break the teachers” is about control, not resolution.
That money could have been better spent where it matters most: reducing class sizes, hiring more educational assistants, and providing targeted student support.
At its core, this isn’t about fixing education—it’s about waging war on Alberta’s teachers, students, and public education system, just as they’ve already done in healthcare.
Albertans deserve leadership that prioritizes students over politics, and solutions over spin. The time to restore trust, professionalism, and real leadership is now.
