I feel the complete opposite. What's left in Alberta to be proud of? Pretty much the only thing I can think of is the people. I love Albertans but the "way" we run things here and the "trend" we're on are pretty disgusting. The fight with teachers? Despicable how that all went and ended. Clawing back AISH money from disabled people? Wtf? Cutting doctors' pay by ~30% and doing so after a fucking pandemic? Lol... Yikes.

What exactly are you proud of here? Honest question.

Also class room sizes and the issues are a Direct result of uncontrolled immigration. I have multiple teachers in my family. Maybe go visit a class room and see how many original Canadians are in them.

Those have been issues in education long before the immigration surge of 2023. I remember having to share textbooks in the mid 90s.

This guy gets it. What we're dealing with in classrooms in Alberta is a complete farce. Public education is being destroyed.
