Cost of living increases for Alberta Teachers from 2012. In real terms their salaries have decrease while their workload increased... UCP do better.

Teacher Wage cola increase since 2012. Sick

Albert teachers pay raises. Looks to me like they have been getting cut in real terms for far too long. Add to that the in reased workload then you can understand why they have rightfully opted to strike.

Totally preventable. This antivax propaganda that has been further propagated by the Alberta government has got to stop. Let the medical experts do their jobs without this government interference

Seeing political misinformation can make you want to fire off a comment. That engagement fuels the algorithm, spreading the lie further.

Identifying people as antifa is not a slur it is also not an organized group. It is an abbreviation of anti fascist. Nothing more, it is not something we are to. Be afraid of but rather something to aspire to. Just like when the world united to defeat fascism. One of my uncles died fighting fascist

Danielle Smith's book ban achieved its goal: high-order chaos. The news is dominated by a manufactured crisis, forcing binary "for kids or for porn" argument pitting Albertans against each other. Meanwhile, healthcare fails, schools need funding, and insider deals. Mission accomplished. #AbLeg

Albertans aren’t buying it. Smith’s book ban is a globally mocked distraction from real issues like class sizes and fair wages. #AbPol #AbLeg

So Danielle is beating up on trans kids, librarians, young schoolgirls, the disabled and the destitute....how brave Smithyfits #abpoli #daniellesmith #ucppropoganda

From deportation cheers to xenophobic rhetoric, Smith’s platform empowers the far right. Dangerous and un-Albertan #abpoli #albertaseparatists

#AlbertaNextFraud
Smith’s $2M “grievance tour” is a scripted circus fueling extremism—not listening to Albertans. Pure propaganda #upcPropaganda #ucpgaslighting #ableg #ABpoli

#HousingCrisis: Homelessness & Health Risks
Substandard housing links directly to health issues like asthma, infections, and mental stress. Smith’s focus on constitutional battles diverts resources from affordable housing initiatives, worsening risks to vulnerable families. #HealthyHomes #ABhealth

Man alive she is the queen of gaslighting. Not one word she says is honest. She needs to leave and never come back

Smith’s policies force trans kids under 16 to get parental consent for pronouns and ban lifesaving healthcare like puberty blockers. Medical experts say this harms youth, but she ignores them. #TransRights #HealthcareNotHate

Smith's government is tiresome so many scandals, outrageous statements, and blatant corruption stories bombarding us is such a manner that it is nearly impossible to stay ahead of it all. We must though, call her out on every lie, false information misdirection and gaslighting attempt. #abpoli

Get the people you stranded back or to their destinations. As it stands now you are a deadbeat company. It is unconscionable that you not pay your staff for the time they work and you abdicate responsibility to the people you abandoned.

Facking embarrassing. How this turd got re-elected speaks volumes on the level. Of mental competence of the. People in that riding. Gullible gullible gullible

@aircanada.bsky.social management is to blame for the strike that is leaving people stranded, unable to getting home. You are committing wage theft, and paying 12.5 million to the ceo. Ffs this is grotesque.

Yes they are , no doubt , this is a natural process that doesn't have a great deal to do with human activity. But contrast burning fossil fuel real 102 million tonnes per day. Entirely due to human activity. Don't let posts like this minimize our impact on the environment
