Premier Smith must respond to the teachers' strike by expanding school choice

Don’t let unions hold students hostage — It’s time to break the education cartel.


The union couldn’t care less about the needs of the children and it shows. They pretend to care about class sizes yet forget to acknowledge that alternative education options currently take almost 75,000 students out of public-school classrooms when homeschooling is taken into consideration. If the options were taken away as the union would prefer, how would we accommodate the sudden influx of students?
Educational trends have increasingly put more children with special needs into regular classrooms as well, which makes for a more challenging learning environment for everybody. Charter and separate schools provide specialized environments where students can receive instruction tailored to their needs. The union proposal is to keep the children crammed into standardized classrooms rather than allow them to attend schools with
instructional environments adjusted for them. https://www.westernstandard.news/opinion/morgan-premier-smith-must-respond-to-the-teachers-strike-by-expanding-school-choice/68265

Your leadership has treated Canada not as a sovereign nation of citizens, but as a balance sheet to be "optimized" for global investors. You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
​II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
​As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
​The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...

Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
" Six years ago. Val’s health began to be compromised. She battled every day to reverse the vaccine injury after long battle in excruciating pain."
