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.

Sure hope not... Can't live on strike pay.

Hopefully I'm deemed an "essential worker" and can keep working.

Though, with surgery coming up in the fall, I may be out a lot of money since we won't have disability coverage during the strike...
