This is the article that points out Support Our Students Alberta were the first to notice the government quietly cancelled class size reporting. Even rhe school boards didn't know. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

The press release from @asilvalining.bsky.social that started it all, 18 Nov 2019.

If the teachers can’t strike - students and families should. I know it will never happen - but you’re all sending your kids to dangerously overcrowded and under supported classrooms. Be bold Albertans! #ABEd

The BCTF stands in solidarity with our colleagues in Alberta. Here in BC, we know how heavy-handed legislation against teachers and collective bargaining rights hurts schools, students, and everyone who works in public education. The Alberta government should negotiate, not legislate! ✊ #ABteachers

UCP claim to be such tough guy cowboys but support the biggest cowards ….

If only someone could have predicted... www.facebook.com/share/v/1CwT...

📣 Signature collection happening at the Bowness Carwash on Mainstreet near the Library from 4-6:30 pm. 👏 #pentopaper #collective #action RecallNicolaides.ca

For those #yyc folks who are in Nicolaides' riding.... #abpoli #AbEd

Can a reporter, ANY reporter ask Danielle Smith if she thinks 45 kids in a class is acceptable, even with an EA? There’s some low hanging fruit questions that should be posed to Smith during pressers. @ctvnewscalgary.bsky.social @globalnews.ca @cbcnews.ca @calgaryherald.com

Wherein the Minister of #ABED education refers to complexity in terms of refugees and ELL students - then talks about how complexity manifests as violence and aggression in the classroom. The conflation isn’t innocent - it’s deliberately xenophobic and racist. Shame on you.

Again, its fallen on a women-dominated profession not to just to strike for their own rights and wages, but to somehow justify — unlike male-dominated unions — that they have kids' interests at heart. Kids' interests the govt should take responsibility for, and already committed to in 2004.

@ximenaka.bsky.social missed opportunity to include a local citizen run public education advocacy group in your latest piece (thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...) @sosalberta.bsky.social been fighting the privatization of public education for a decade now.

Don’t be naive - This Trump adjacent “Peace Prize” was awarded as a precursor to pave the way for a US invasión of Venezuela for the purposes of accessing the countries national Resources. Namely oil. It’s always oil. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Hey Alberta Teachers, it can be done. Dont even need to reinvent the wheel!! The UTLA did it in 6 days. You’re only going to get one kick at this cat. Make it worthwhile. @albertateachers.bsky.social @schilldawg.bsky.social #ABED

For a moment I thought this was Alberta 😆 silly me - @albertateachers.bsky.social aren’t picketing at all!! This is Chicago, and Los Angeles - whose strike lasted only 6 days in case anyone’s looking for tips: itsgoingdown.org/picket-line-... #abed

Teacher Day Camp? Embarrassing. ATA Learn How to Strike Challenge.

The ATA is literally infantilizing their members then wonder why the public doesn’t consider them professionals…. Pick up a sign and picket like ALL LABOUR ORGS! @albertateachers.bsky.social @schilldawg.bsky.social

All the arguments that "well, actually, teachers pickets are just fundamentally different than traditional labour pickets..." well, perhaps technically true, is also irrelevant. That argument would be true for every other jurisdictions as well, but teachers still picket everywhere else.

Lol, if you were going to be concerned about petitions you shouldn't have《checks notes》 made petitions easier. Whatever happened to Smith's "direct democracy is best" schtick?

It would be kind of funny if ATA started a campaign to unionize private and charter teachers.

The Government of Alberta will tell you, on the record, that when choosing a *private* school, class size absolutely matters.

I am once again insisting that @albertateachers.bsky.social @schilldawg.bsky.social insist on reinstating class size reporting in negotiations.

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

To whom it may concern: 1. If you work, are an employee, or a labourer, you are part of the working class. Unless you’re the CEO of a multimillion$ corp - you are a labourer & should ALWAYS side w your fellow workers fighting 4 better conditions. 2. Strikes are meant to disrupt & be inconvenient.

Teachers: you know you've got a fair deal when, in a year from now, when the private schools come lobbying for money again, the government has to tell them "no," not because they want to, but because you've tied up everything in public education. Don't stop until they roll back private funding.

Read EPSB candidates' responses to the Progressive Trustee Hub survey here! We sent candidates questions that dig into some key issues this election. You can see both a grade and summary for the candidates' views and read their full replies. www.supportourstudents.ca/edmontonvote...

Aaahhh I see the Alberta NDP is sticking with the ‘we’re better at building pipelines’ narrative. Third time’s a charm, I guess

At IPE/BC, we believe that strengthening public education, rather than fracturing it, is the only way to go. A quality, inclusive, accessible and well-supported public school system is in all of our interest. #PublicEdPublicGood #bced #cdned #bcpoli edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

Imagine if teachers were paid $30 per day per child. $30 x 30 kids x 182 days = $163,800. Danielle Smith just put a price on how much she thinks teachers are worth. Now get back to bargaining and back up your own math. #Abed

Ole Dani willing to do literally anything other than fund public education. #Danibucks As disgusting as this is, it’s also embarrassing that Dani has more of a strike plan than the @albertateachers.bsky.social #abed

It’s not the books hurting children we need to be worried about….. #Abed

In case you’re wondering how it’s going in Alberta, this is Bruce McAllister shutting off a YYC teen 4 asking why #ABED funds private schools. Instead of answering,McAllister says boy should be spanked. This is your gov #ABED -they don’t respect students or teachers streamable.com/vzmcwe?src=p...

Thanks to IPE/BC Associates Shannon D.M. Moore and Justin Fraser for shining a light on education privatization in BC. Check out the latest publication in our Occasional Paper Series. #bced #bcpoli #PublicEdPublicGood instituteforpubliceducation.org/whats-left-o...

A little over 5 years ago I did a podcast, in it I spoke about the gains made by the Teachers Association in Alberta - most nota my I asked “WHAT GAINS?!!” Five years later and they’re still exactly there. NO GAINS. It’s time to make your organization work for you #ABTeachers. #Abed

From books to sports, it’s concerning that the folks most preoccupied with children, sex and gender is the the AB UCP government. Where are all the civil rights lawyers at? #abed

BC teachers stand in solidarity with the BCGEU/PEA in their fight for fair wages and workers’ rights! 💪 BCTF Executive Committee members Carole and Winona are on the picket line in downtown Vancouver amplifying their message that public sector workers deserve a fair deal. #BCpoli @bcgeu.bsky.social#BCpoli

NEW: The Parkland Institute just released a report on how the rhetoric of “parental rights” is being used to push through education privatization. open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...

I want everyone to know that I read The Godfather and yet never once put a horses head in anyone’s bed. It’s possible to read things and then do none of the things you just read about. It’s basically why self help books are evergreen. #LetKidsRead #ABEd

Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians. There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.

Bill Maher: Well, he was nice to me! 🤷‍♂️

I did not anticipate seeing so many Nazi apologists.

People with eyes: "Elon Musk make a Nazi salute." Historians who have studied the rise of fascism: "Elon Musk made a Nazi salute." Mainstream Media: "Elon Musk made a heartfelt gesture that was misconstrued as a Nazi salute."
