“No public money for private schools” is just good policy. Pledge to pump those resources (and more) into the public system.

I would love to see a provincial party run on it. @albertandp.ca @naheednenshi.bsky.social #abpoli #ableg

We will use teacher salaries to bribe parents, and they will love us.

*massive protests*

We will return to the bargaining table.

I’ve always found it bemusing to see Catholics criticize the Pope. Aren’t you definitionally required to accept his authority? *shrugs agnostically*

I just want Albertans who still support this UCP government to give me a real reason.

The UCP have made everything worse. Skyrocketing utilities & insurance rates. Healthcare on the verge of collapse. Teachers on strike over working conditions.

They’ve made an awful mess.

Give it enough time, a libertarian will always reveal who they really are. Always.

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 2d

Not the least surprised by this. I’d hope it might finally wake up some mainstream libertarians to what Smith is really about. But it probably won’t.

I don’t know the politics of the individual gymnasts so it’s very possibly a shame that some won’t get to compete. That sucks for them!

But you don’t legitimize an apartheid state. And this is one of the (many) ways to exert pressure.

steve-o @freerangesteve.bsky.social · 1d

This is the way.

Yeah, it’s so depressing that this shit will resonate with people.

You know what would help relieve pressure on the public system? Putting the money currently diverted to private schools into it!
