An Open Letter to the Teachers of Alberta
October 30, 2025
Dear Alberta Teachers,
I am writing to you today not as an enemy, but as a parent, and above all as someone who stands unapologetically with the students you held hostage during your recent strike.
For nearly a month, from October 6 to October 29, over 740,000 children across our province were denied their education. Classrooms sat empty, lessons were lost forever, and families scrambled to fill the void you created. This wasn't an act of selfless sacrifice; it was a calculated power play, perfectly timed during the school year when the pain would hit hardest, not during your summer break, when students wouldn’t be hurt.
The Alberta government was absolutely right to force you back to work. Premier Danielle Smith's decisive action through Bill 2, the Back to School Act, passed swiftly and invoking the notwithstanding clause, was a victory for common sense and our kids.
Students returned to class on October 29, just in time to salvage what remained of their fall term. You received a fair 12% wage increase over four years, plus commitments to hire 3,000 more teachers and 1,500 educational assistants. That's not oppression, that's responsibility.
But let's be brutally honest: You haven't been educators for a long time. Too many of you have morphed into woke propagandists, more interested in grooming impressionable young minds with indoctrination than teaching reading, writing, math, or critical thinking. Your strikes aren't about "classroom complexity", they're about leverage, ideology, and refusing deals that 90% of you rejected out of spite.
Teachers keep demanding more while delivering less. I do not stand with you. I stand with the students, the real victims here. The children whose futures you gambled away for your paycheques and politics. The government put them first, and for that, every parent in Alberta should be grateful.
Now, do your jobs. Teach our kids facts, skills, and resilience, not division, pronouns, and woke worship. Earn the respect you've lost.
Signed,
A Parent Standing with Students

Besides being confused that none of the questions on the referendum are binding or really addressing any meaningful issues for Albertans (pension, tax collection, policing, equalization), I am confused about the No to the nine crowd. The left is owned by the unions, the teachers union, the nurses unions. The teachers complain incessantly about class sizes and the English as a second language kids and special needs kids. Nurses complain about how busy and how overrun they are in hospital and how healthcare needs to be protected - all concerns deeply impacted by immigration … AND YET… they want to say No to the Nine. So they want to whine but they don’t really want to solve the root cause of the problem that impacts them every day. Nothing drives me crazier than a person who wants to vent and identify problems without any commitment to finding a solution.
What confuses me is to be so blinded by your need to disagree with the conservatives that you would not even think thru the ...
Beautiful, this is what Alberta is all about
And Liberals will never understand it

I met a real "Most Alberta Woman" yesterday in Cremona.
Her name is Alana Miller. She and her husband are cattle ranchers. She showed up in her SUV, with a small child in the back seat. She was still wearing her work clothes. She was in a mild panic.
"Did I miss it? Are you guys closed?"
She desperately wanted to sign the petition. She came prepared with 5 documents to prove her identity and her physical address.
Everyone there was taken aback by her smile and enthusiasm. She is the future of Alberta, and we all knew it.
I asked her if I coud film her, and I'm so glad she agreed.
