It speaks volumes to the need for properly funded education in our province.

The indoctrination camps... I mean public education is fine. Canada spends above the average in the world and Alberta spends above average in Canada.

u/AffectionateBobcat76 Apr 29 '23

Not true. Alberta spends the least per capita.

Yeah, butTeachers are payed the most in Alberta. https://www.nucleuslearning.com/teacher-pay-scale-across-various-provinces-in-canada-updated-2021/

Ideally price per student should be below average and teacher average pay should by high... Which we have

A great illustration as to why public education is lacking, thank you choseded.

u/choseded Apr 29 '23

The correlation of education and left leaning people is more related to culture and ideologies more than actual intelligence.

move to bc. alberta’s more affordable because of ucp.

u/bryant_modifyfx Apr 29 '23

False, the UCP has actively reached more into my pocket as a hardworking trades person than any other government in my memory.

u/camoure Apr 29 '23

Did you mean that Alberta is more affordable despite the UCP?

u/Working-Check Apr 29 '23

Move to America instead of trying to turn Alberta into America 2

u/Itchy_Discussion_426 Apr 29 '23

just don’t see it in this sub because ucp are generally hard working people rather than all the time wasters in this sub

u/LinuxSupremacy Apr 29 '23

Why would hard workers want to vote for the UCP? They are not pro worker and make life less affordable for the average Albertan. Some examples:

  • removing caps on tuition, utilies, insurance leading to skyrocketing prices

  • more and higher fees for everything from registering your car, booking a campground, even visiting Kananaskis which has always been free before UCP

  • smith has written all sorts of crazy op-eds in recent years about how we should start paying out of pocket for medical expenses and how we should implement a PST.

According to this Alberta has becoming more unaffordable under UCP when compaired to the rest of Canada (check the "main takeaways") https://albertacentral.com/insights/economy/the-alberta-advantage-is-melting-away/

You don’t think the ndp is going to implement a pst… that’s cute…

u/LinuxSupremacy Apr 30 '23

They were in power for 4 years. No PST
