If/when an NDP government is elected, they will have a much better, accomplished group than they did the first time around in 2015 where many elected MLAs were inexperienced and not ready or expecting to form government and lead ministries.

I have never been an NDP supporter but I have to admit that Rachel Notley's NDP government gave us much government than those that preceded or those that followed her despite the inexperience of much of her caucus.

Whoever is in Edmonton-Rutherford, you are lucky to have Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse. Had the pleasure of speaking with her today. She is as genuine and caring and bright as they come. We are lucky to have her in provincial office. She's so wonderful.

'Ideological difference': Private-school funding question approved amid Alberta teachers' strike

"Should the Government of Alberta end its current practice of allocating public funds to accredited independent (private) schools?"

This is the logical conclusion when the Government of Alberta which says it is open to negotiate with teachers and then says the amount of funding is fixed.

It ends up creating division, chaos and pitting people against each other. It is what MAGA governments seem to excel at.

My wife doesn't know much but she did say the fact the exploratory talks went well is a good sign.
