Premier and Education Minister will address the media (on what is supposed to be a solemn holiday about first nations). Bring on the battle!

If Alberta is willing to pay families $30 per student per day, for a population of 825,000 students, that's over $24 M per day (nearly 25 M). If the average teacher is paid $100,000 per year, for 51,000 teachers that's 5.1 billion per year, or about $25 M per day. Is that a good way to spend money?

I am confused whether you plan to challenge Martin Schmidt for the NDP nomination in Edmonton-Gold Bar or another political party or as an independent?

I think it's for students 12 years and younger. Not sure how many that is.

I shouldn't be, but I continue to be annoyingly shocked by Smith's response to this.
Brutal, really. Can't believe they didn't even let the student finish his question, which in no way was disrespectful. And then insult him on top of it. And no one on the UCP panel says boo or stands up for him.
Apparently Nenshi is doing a live youtube talk with the high school student tonight.

Best of luck, Matthew! Is Marlin Schmidt not running for re-election?

This has happened at numerous Alberta Next Panel's. A question is asked that goes against what the UCP wants and Bruce pipes up like a snide little child or the mic is cut off.
These UCP idiots love free speech...but only when it helps them!
As for the teachers, my wife is one and she is furious that the GoA has decided to help families out financially when this could go towards helping classroom issues/complexities. She's hearing this will be a long strike.

What can other Albertans do to support the strike?

Best of luck! I've only ran municipally, but I would warn you that it is one of the most stress-inducing things you can do. Lots of angry people will look for anything and everything available to come after you.

I realize the moderators job is to try keep things on topic, but for most people there it may be their only chance to bring their concerns up to senior government officials.
He should have been less heavy handed and more respectful to the person asking the question, who while young, obviously had some interest in public policy.
