"The Alberta government's 2024 curriculum appears to have been developed with #BigOil involvement, directing teachers to discuss the benefits of #OilAndGas & their role in Alberta's economy. A recent report found an industry funded nonprofit lobbies to include this content in the curriculum."

This boils my blood. I don't know the US labour history, but I do know how hard public sector workers in Canada and Alberta had to fight to gain collective bargaining rights, which they were not allowed because they were "civil servants".

All public worker strikes were wildcat strikes and illegal until 1967 when Federal workers gained the right to collective bargaining through the Public Service Staff Relations Act which took 2 years to pass through Parliament after the wildcat Postal Workers Strike of 1965.

Federal government employees responded by joining unions in record numbers.

Public sector workers in Alberta did not gain these rights until 2016, when the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that ALL Canadian workers have the fundamental right to strike, essential to even the playing field between workers and employers.

That hasn't even been 10 years ago, that our Provincial healthcare workers, education workers, social workers, wildlife workers, custodial workers, and many more have had access to such basic fundamental rights to legal collective job action! You may not have realized that all these strikes you are seeing now are history in the making!

We are living out a struggle for the right of the working-class to SURVIVE.

It breaks my heart to see our fallen comrades losing this fight with such desperation to the south, and makes me fearful of the coming storm we will have to face in Canada as our populist shadow government pushes to put us down in Canada.

Trump signs executive order ending collective bargaining rights for many federal workers By Kaanita Iyer and Tami Luhby, CNN Updated 9:55 AM EDT, Fri March 28, 2025 Allison Robbert/AFP/Getty Images/File Protesters gather at a rally organized by the American Federation of Government Employees against the Department of Government Efficiency, outside the US Capitol on February 11, 2025. CNN — President Donald Trump took his most consequential action against federal employee unions yet late Thursday, signing an executive order aimed at ending collective bargaining for government employees whose work include national security aspects. The expansive order applies to workers across many federal agencies, including the departments of State, Defense, Justice and Health and Human Services. It also impacts the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Federal Communications Commission, and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A fact sheet released by the White House said, “The President needs a responsive and accountable civil service to protect our national security.”

Everyone watching the CPC campaign this first week would agree with this...

“They did not prepare. The ground game is a complete and utter mess,”

Conservative insiders going public the Federal campaign is a total train wreck

Florida has proposed a repeal of child labor laws in order to get teens to fill the low-paid positions filled by all the immigrants Trump has deported. Rather than providing a living wage, they need to legalize another form of labor exploitation, bringing back one that was mostly eradicated in 1938.

Now would be a good time to mention that one of the very first acts of the UCP when they were first elected under Kenney, was to repeal the minimum wage for youth workers, because the NDP's single-tier minimum took away their cheap labour exploitation.

That groundbreaking NDP minimum wage has now become the lowest in Canada, because the UCP has refused to raise it once throughout their entire two terms.

Alberta workers will always remain at rock bottom so long as we vote Conservative.

"[Smith] used the opportunity to praise U.S. efforts to turn away from 2050 climate targets. 'There is an ideology, as you know, of those who believe we have to hit net zero as quickly as possible. Mark Carney has been behind the net-zero banking move.'"

Alberta premier, Danielle Smith, is in Florida on the 'Quisling 2025' tour with Ben Shapiro. He calls us a "silly little country that can be annexed like Puerto Rico and that Canadians will welcome Trump like a "liberator."

On the upside, she is doing a fantastic job of sinking her buddy Pierre's campaign. 👏👏

Later today, I'm going to phone premier Smith's office and demand she resign for deliberately courting foreign hostiles, and acting against the interests of Alberta and Canada.

I encourage everyone to do the same. Swamp her staff. Make your voice clear and loud.
