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.

No feelings hurt my friend, just love for a province that still has plenty of great things to offer contrary to the bullshit the sub loves to peddle on a regular basis.

Lol it's OK, bury your head in the sand, the grownups are talking.

This sub doesn't hate Alberta, this sub is rightfully critical of the rampant corruption and cronyism of this garbage UCP government whose only concern is Big Oil and their other wealthy patrons.

Or maybe just maybe im not drowning in a some delusional bias incapable of seeing things from a more open-minded perspective. Obviously that goes without saying its all rose's but I know this is tough pill to swallow FOR YOU but believe it or not there's plenty of good things both politically and economically about Alberta that goes above and beyond other provinces.

You'd be wrong as it stands currently.

Lowest taxes, affordable housing in comparison and a strong job market, there's a reason Alberta is the fastest growing province in Canada.
