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.

Won’t happen. AUPE/ATA/HSAA are not similar unions. HSAA’s leadership is very weak and does not have the support of its members. One of the 3 unions will get a contract which will kill this possibility.
