What's a citizen-initiated petition? If Taylor (and friends) can gather the signatures of roughly 177,000 Alberta voters in a 120-day period, and Elections AB verifies them, a govt committee must then prepare a report on the proposal or send it back to Exns AB for a referendum vote. #AbEd

Elections Alberta has approved a citizen-initiated petition application to gather signatures in support of the proposal to end public funding to independent/private schools. Calgary teacher Alicia Taylor says she brought it forward because it could help improve funding for public schools. #AbEd

WOW! Alberta just got another approved referendum petition! And this one calls for the practice of funding private schools with public money to be put to an end! During the teachers strike! Strap in Alberta, we’re going on a ride! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

It all starts with a strong public education system---without it, we have nothing. To every educational support worker and ally on the picket lines, thank you for standing up and fighting back.

In a year when Calgary’s alone student count rose by 8000, the budget for Public Ed was not increased. However, the UCP gave private & charter schools $418M. Now, the UCP are also funding 12 new builds for private & charters as well. The UCP are defunding Public Education in Alberta.

Excellent work @smartalecw.bsky.social !!

Other Place Archive #2. I live in a very conservative part of a very conservative province. What frustrates me to no end is how it feels that all some people can do is just complain and point fingers without recognizing the driving force behind most of these problems.

David Parker is the worst and he is targeting school boards!!

The UCP already took our Alberta Teacher's Retirement Fund...with no notice...and put it in AIMCO...which was earning 2% less than the ATRF. Tell Danielle - Leave Our CPP alone!

Be careful out there folks!!

“the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) 2SLGBTQQIA+ Council strongly condemned legislation being advanced by the Government of Alberta that imposes restrictions that deny the rights of transgender youth” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli afn.ca/all-news/pre...

The argument advanced by the Alberta government about why they fired AIMCo's board and executive team is demonstrably false. So why did they do it?

This need to keep our already low property taxes low comes at a cost. For some perspective, we still pay less for property taxes than when we lived in Grande Prairie 15 years ago!!

Fellow Albertans, and any family members of Albertans: We need to start talking about losing our pensions with EVERYBODY. So many people do not know what is happening. We need to get the word out, IRL, to people who are not on social media. Talk to family, friends, coworkers, customers, strangers.

A curriculum framework that calls on teachers to promote Alberta’s oil and gas industry to schoolchildren was quietly published months ago, to the surprise of education experts and the opposition. edmonton.ctvnews.ca/kids-to-lear... #Alberta
