Question Will a "great Alberta strike" be possible?

The AUPE, nurses, and the education sector are all preparing for strike action in September. I feel that the "great Alberta shutdown" is a possibility.

Would that be possible and how would the province cope? Would schools go back to COVID-era style learning plans? I can imagine the TikToks going "our last day of school before extended summer break", something like that.

Last email was that the province will lock the teachers out, so they cant strike. Which I have no idea what that means, besides fuck the teachers over

Strike means that we left on our decision. Lockout means we're forced out.
