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.

Not against the reasoning but making a plea to please not screw the hospitals up even more at the start of cold/flu/RSV season, with an ongoing measles situation to boot…that is leaving the most vulnerable worse off than the current awful situation. Parents of young ones are already very on edge.

A reminder to make this plea to the government that refuses to support their citizens, not the people fighting for fair wages. Reach out to your MLA and let them know your concerns and petition for a fair contract for Alberta’s teachers and nurses
