The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - NDP pathetic attempt to attack Danielle Smith FAILS entirely!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.

00:00:02.960 The Alberta teacher strike has to be one of the most overblown Canadian political issues this decade so far.

00:00:10.660 Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, despite media reporting and what the Alberta NDP says, has been doing an excellent job.

00:00:18.640 She gave a very generous offer to the Alberta Teachers Association that they rejected twice

00:00:24.720 and pretended that she was being very mean to them because she didn't give them even more.

00:00:30.000 This entire situation has nothing to do with teachers, it has nothing to do with students,

00:00:34.540 and it has nothing to do with parents or classroom sizes.

00:00:38.160 This has to do with the left trying to get Danielle Smith.

00:00:42.620 They have no leg to stand on, but they are just using the idea of teacher striking in order to put pressure on Danielle Smith

00:00:50.900 or try and smear her reputation in front of the public. 0.99

00:00:54.520 Remember, the media, the NDP, and especially the unions will never say that any concessions are too much for the teachers.

00:01:03.500 I would even say the UCP probably offered more than they had to to the teachers for what would qualify as a reasonable offer.

00:01:10.420 The Alberta government offered the ATA a 12% raise over the next four years, which would actually be 17% for some teachers

00:01:21.320 because of the way that changes would be made to the wage brackets, to the salary brackets.

00:01:26.520 And they were also going to add 3,000 new teachers over the next several years and 1,500 teacher or classroom assistants.

00:01:35.860 This would have taken care of any wage concerns that the teachers union would have had,

00:01:42.040 and it was going to reduce classroom sizes as well as deal with the issue of classroom complexity

00:01:47.780 from kids with special needs or who have English as a second language.

00:01:52.540 The ATA rejected that offer twice, and they pretend that because Smith gave it to them a second time,

00:01:57.960 the exact same offer, that was somehow an insult.

00:02:00.040 It was more than generous.

00:02:01.540 In fact, she could have probably given them about an 8% wage increase, and I think that would have been enough. 0.85

00:02:06.960 But the ATA, again, is not in the business of actually trying to get to a real deal.

00:02:11.460 They are in the business of trying to hurt Daniel Smith and help Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi.

00:02:17.560 I want to take you guys through some of the messaging the NDP have been doing,

00:02:21.740 as well as what the Alberta government has been doing, because this has been such a stupid situation.

00:02:28.420 I also want to talk about some of the media and commentators talking about this issue,

00:02:32.760 and just how blatantly hacky many of them are being.

00:02:37.020 But before we get into it, I just want to remind you guys, especially if you live in Alberta,

00:02:41.460 make sure to like, subscribe, and share this video.

00:02:45.060 It really helps me out on the algorithm as well.

00:02:47.240 If you comment, if you are already a subscriber, hit that notification bell,

00:02:51.060 and make sure that you stay up to date with my videos.

00:02:53.380 Every time I upload a video, if you hit the notification bell,

00:02:56.680 it will give you a ping so that you know right when I've put something new out.

00:03:01.280 But anyways, let's check out first this advertisement by the Alberta NDP trying to,

00:03:07.820 I don't even know what they're trying to do with this video.

00:03:11.380 Again, make Daniel Smith look bad.

00:03:13.540 Make it look like, you know, they're standing with teachers

00:03:16.220 and against the authoritarian government trying to make them, you know, do their jobs.

00:03:21.740 Look at this.

00:03:24.540 I have never seen this many people on the grounds of the legislature.

00:03:29.280 This government is attacking teachers.

00:03:32.080 It's attacking parents.

00:03:33.620 It's attacking workers and their unions.

00:03:35.920 And it's attacking public education.

00:03:38.400 Daniel.

00:03:38.980 How is it attacking public education?

00:03:41.080 By making teachers educate children.

00:03:43.560 They are attacking public education.

00:03:45.600 How are they attacking teachers?

00:03:47.100 They give an extremely generous offer, both on wages,

00:03:49.520 as well as trying to alleviate issues in the classroom.

00:03:52.860 It's almost like they haven't done anything wrong,

00:03:55.980 but Nenshi has absolutely nothing to run on right now

00:03:58.800 because Daniel Smith, on pretty much every front, has been doing a very good job.

00:04:03.260 Yeah, there's many scandals here and there

00:04:05.060 that's kind of being expected in every government.

00:04:07.980 And their scandals are, in fact, smaller than the previous NDP government scandals,

00:04:12.400 as well as smaller than pretty much every other province's current issues.

00:04:16.020 And, but they're trying to make this seem like,

00:04:19.840 oh my goodness,

00:04:21.260 why isn't the UCP, like, I guess, defunding private education

00:04:26.200 to pour it even more into public?

00:04:28.340 Alberta, in fact, does have some of the lowest

00:04:30.720 per capita spending on the education system,

00:04:33.640 but that also isn't shocking.

00:04:35.460 We have the lowest, the lowest, the average age of any province, 1.00

00:04:40.460 so naturally you're going to have a lot more students.

00:04:42.440 And money does not equal quality.

00:04:44.240 In fact, Alberta, with some of the lowest per capita spending,

00:04:48.360 has the best outcomes as well,

00:04:50.360 has the best achievement rates, has the best test scores.

00:04:53.740 So who cares?

00:04:55.380 And the Alberta government is adding more money to the system.

00:04:58.240 So these people have no leg to stand on.

00:05:00.180 They're only, again, all of this is,

00:05:02.940 is trying to make Daniel Smith look bad.

00:05:04.740 Daniel Smith engineered this strike.

00:05:06.780 Danielle Smith...

00:05:07.620 Oh, she engineered this strike by giving a generous offer 0.99

00:05:10.820 and Jason Schilling at the ATA, which is a great last name for a man like him.

00:05:14.840 That NDP Schill, Jason Schilling, rejected it twice

00:05:18.520 and then pretended that somehow he had been, like, hard done.

00:05:21.600 ...fought public education her entire career.

00:05:24.740 These folks, these Albertans and Albertans across the province

00:05:28.000 aren't going to stand for it anymore.

00:05:32.320 We stand with teachers, we stand with parents,

00:05:36.080 we stand with students, we stand with workers in their unions,

00:05:39.340 and most important, we stand for public education.

00:05:43.660 I don't know what this music is as well.

00:05:46.280 What is this for, like, a video about public education?

00:05:50.820 Sounds like John Wick's about to, like,

00:05:52.420 step in from the side of the frame and start gunning people down.

00:05:54.700 There is zero substance to this.

00:06:04.760 Did you understand how the deals the UCP government

00:06:07.620 was putting in front of the ATA were unfair?

00:06:09.900 Well, they don't address it,

00:06:10.880 because if the NDP were to address what was offered,

00:06:13.800 they would look like complete morons right now.

00:06:17.300 At the end of...

00:06:17.880 It's so dumb what's been going on.

00:06:21.640 So, the Alberta government has now passed Bill 2,

00:06:25.640 which is get-back-to-work legislation,

00:06:28.160 and the NDP is acting like somehow this is a...

00:06:32.940 some, like, an affront to teachers.

00:06:35.200 It's an affront to the education system.

00:06:37.820 I think Danielle Smith does a good job of defending herself on this one, 1.00

00:06:41.060 and she says,

00:06:42.020 With the passing of Bill 2, the Back to School Act,

00:06:45.500 Alberta students will return to the classroom on October 29th,

00:06:48.680 ending disruption for families

00:06:50.080 and putting the folks back where it belongs on students.

00:06:53.360 Teachers have made it clear that classroom complexity and safety

00:06:56.460 are among the most critical challenges in our education system.

00:07:00.800 We are strengthening classroom supports,

00:07:02.400 hiring 3,000 new teachers and 1,500 education assistants,

00:07:05.740 and acting on the recommendations of the

00:07:07.860 Aggression and Complexity in School Action Team.

00:07:10.700 We will continue to work with teachers

00:07:12.880 and find lasting, practical solutions

00:07:15.040 so every educator has the support they need

00:07:17.300 and every student can learn in a safe, supportive environment.

00:07:20.080 Parents, teachers, and students

00:07:21.920 all want the same thing in classrooms

00:07:23.640 where every child can succeed.

00:07:25.380 And I've seen some polling out there

00:07:27.080 that says,

00:07:28.400 Oh, look.

00:07:29.620 Albertans stand with teachers, not the government.

00:07:32.240 That's because most people don't know what the issue is

00:07:34.520 and probably don't actually care.

00:07:36.780 I've been talking to some UCP MLAs.

00:07:38.980 They say that they frankly don't get a lot of emails

00:07:42.160 from parents mad at them.

00:07:44.160 You know, you'll get some form letters from teachers

00:07:46.360 where it's obviously just an ATA union person

00:07:49.000 trying to put pressure on you

00:07:51.040 to break and give them what they want,

00:07:53.520 which is just unreasonable.

00:07:55.380 Again, the Alberta government was already

00:07:57.000 giving 12% salary increases over the next four years,

00:08:00.440 and they were looking for like 17% or whatever,

00:08:03.900 and then they wanted even more teachers.

00:08:05.520 The government is giving an absolutely fine offer.

00:08:10.740 And the polling doesn't actually reflect the fact

00:08:13.220 that most people don't care,

00:08:15.000 and that whenever this issue is actually explained to people,

00:08:19.260 they do not actually believe

00:08:20.860 that the government is acting in an underhanded way.

00:08:24.460 They're not acting unfair.

00:08:26.380 The teachers have actually had a very difficult time

00:08:28.900 getting traction in the media

00:08:30.520 because their own people are deeply incompetent at messaging.

00:08:33.840 In fact, the ATA, when all this broke out,

00:08:36.720 went to a spa in Kananaskis

00:08:38.520 to discuss what their next moves were going to be.

00:08:41.360 Yes, very, very proletary to them.

00:08:44.940 I think this article from Isaac Lamoureux at Juno News

00:08:48.240 does a good job of summing it up,

00:08:49.960 and this is from back on October 6th,

00:08:52.320 and it says,

00:08:52.780 Alberta Teachers Launch Historic Strike

00:08:54.500 with Few Clear Demands.

00:08:57.420 Alberta Teachers Association President Jason Schilling

00:09:00.320 concluded a Monday press conference

00:09:02.240 without providing a specific number

00:09:03.840 on what would end the province-wide teacher strike.

00:09:06.960 Instead, he repeated broad themes

00:09:08.400 of chronic underfunding,

00:09:09.700 complex classrooms, and fair pay.

00:09:12.000 This strike is not about wages, said Schilling.

00:09:14.540 This strike is about the state of public education in Alberta.

00:09:17.460 The government says they don't know what teachers want.

00:09:19.660 Well, yesterday, tens of thousands of Albertans

00:09:21.800 across the province shared once again what teachers want.

00:09:24.760 Teachers, student ratios,

00:09:26.240 support for complex classrooms, and fair pay.

00:09:28.780 The problem is that's what they gave them,

00:09:31.460 and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation,

00:09:33.500 as you can see here,

00:09:34.600 literally showed what teachers would be making

00:09:36.720 under this new plan.

00:09:38.780 You have four years of teaching education,

00:09:40.800 five years of education,

00:09:41.980 six years of education,

00:09:43.060 with the years of experience

00:09:44.640 showing how much you will make each year

00:09:46.980 over time with the new pay scale.

00:09:51.180 You will be making six figures

00:09:52.900 after six years of education,

00:09:55.820 like six years in the classroom,

00:09:58.160 if you have five or six years of teacher education.

00:10:02.240 This is an extremely fair offer by the government,

00:10:05.340 but apparently it needs to be even more,

00:10:07.440 and the pay's not fair enough,

00:10:08.580 the classrooms are still too complex,

00:10:10.040 even though they're offering supports.

00:10:12.760 Again, this is all about

00:10:14.620 trying to make the NDP look good.

00:10:17.900 It's trying to damage Danielle Smith

00:10:19.540 by just causing a big ruckus over the idea

00:10:22.600 that somehow, I don't even know,

00:10:25.640 that somehow people are being hard done

00:10:27.420 because a strike's going on.

00:10:28.480 A strike's going on,

00:10:29.380 the premier must have done something wrong.

00:10:31.180 It's pathetic.

00:10:32.680 So now I just want to move on

00:10:34.440 to something that someone posted

00:10:36.660 in the midst of all this

00:10:37.880 that I found absolutely ridiculous.

00:10:41.440 We need to look at this post

00:10:42.660 from someone I've actually taken classes

00:10:44.980 from in the past.

00:10:46.460 Don, Dwayne Bratt,

00:10:49.360 and he kind of got roasted for this post

00:10:51.040 and it's because it exposes so

00:10:53.060 how just sleazy the narrative

00:10:55.160 against Danielle Smith is.

00:10:57.300 Dwayne Bratt here,

00:10:58.660 a professor at Mount Royal University

00:11:00.540 as well as the U of C,

00:11:02.420 says,

00:11:02.780 Don Getty on the golf course

00:11:04.180 as the principal group collapses,

00:11:07.060 Jason Kenney drinking at the Sky Palace

00:11:08.840 during COVID,

00:11:09.860 Danielle Smith in the airport lounge

00:11:12.220 while taking away teachers' charter rights.

00:11:14.860 Yes, she's taking away their charter rights 1.00

00:11:17.140 because they can't strike indefinitely.

00:11:19.280 And he's trying to paint a picture

00:11:20.580 of luxury.

00:11:22.580 Luxury.

00:11:23.380 As Danielle Smith is just waiting for a flight, 0.98

00:11:26.000 obviously going to be in a lounge,

00:11:27.940 not in just sitting in the general public's waiting area

00:11:30.600 because she's the premier, frankly.

00:11:32.860 He's trying to make fetch happen.

00:11:35.080 And sorry, Dwayne,

00:11:36.580 fetch is not going to happen here.

00:11:38.480 She looks tired.

00:11:40.920 And you're trying to make this

00:11:42.040 a thing about how,

00:11:43.440 oh, look at her, 0.97

00:11:44.460 looking down on all the small people

00:11:46.740 while she takes away their charter rights 0.65

00:11:48.620 to just not work.

00:11:51.360 You signed up to be a public school teacher.

00:11:54.580 I'm sorry that being a public school teacher

00:11:57.180 is going to be part of the job description.

00:11:59.620 You don't get to just strike indefinitely

00:12:02.120 until you get what you want,

00:12:03.500 especially when the government

00:12:04.860 has given you a very reasonable offer.

00:12:09.280 But as you can look at

00:12:11.640 in the replies of this post,

00:12:13.380 it didn't go very well.

00:12:14.380 This guy, Blasey, here says,

00:12:17.340 I don't know, man.

00:12:18.360 Spending the evening in the airport lounge

00:12:20.200 before an eight-hour flight,

00:12:22.900 eight-hour commercial flight

00:12:25.240 to deal with oil barons in the Middle East

00:12:27.260 doesn't really scream opulence

00:12:28.740 or dereliction to me.

00:12:30.640 Seems like she's still got a long day ahead of her.

00:12:34.380 Yeah, so this is a really good post

00:12:37.140 by Marty up north here,

00:12:38.860 Marty Bellinger.

00:12:40.520 And he says,

00:12:41.080 hey, Duane,

00:12:41.880 where was your outrage

00:12:43.820 when the ATA was hanging out in Kananascus

00:12:46.420 while kids were locked out of school?

00:12:48.600 Because this is something

00:12:49.420 that Great Northern Discussions had posted.

00:12:51.660 Spa at Kananascus Lodge,

00:12:53.660 Nordic Spa today.

00:12:55.040 Alberta Teachers Association

00:12:56.360 goes to spa to hammer out a deal.

00:12:59.200 And this is something that actually happened.

00:13:00.720 They were at a spa

00:13:01.700 and the teachers' union bosses

00:13:03.440 were out there,

00:13:05.720 you know,

00:13:06.300 living it up,

00:13:07.440 figuring out what their next moves

00:13:08.780 were going to be,

00:13:09.440 apparently,

00:13:09.980 to try and get teachers paid better

00:13:11.940 and to get fair wages and whatnot.

00:13:15.000 These people are just hacks

00:13:17.520 if they actually think

00:13:18.860 that Daniel Smith

00:13:19.780 is having a Sky Palace moment here.

00:13:23.120 They are so desperate

00:13:24.520 to make fetch happen here.

00:13:26.100 I love this headline

00:13:28.580 because of how dramatic it is.

00:13:31.040 Look at this one

00:13:31.840 from the Calgary Herald.

00:13:34.460 A very dark day for education.

00:13:36.960 Teachers' parents worry

00:13:38.100 over provinces'

00:13:38.940 back-to-work legislation.

00:13:40.640 Worry about it?

00:13:41.680 You mean a child

00:13:42.400 might actually get educated?

00:13:43.880 Oh, yes.

00:13:44.580 Very, very big things

00:13:45.840 to worry about.

00:13:46.840 I can't believe

00:13:48.000 that people can even

00:13:48.880 survive

00:13:49.740 with all of the

00:13:50.860 I guess

00:13:55.000 the attack

00:13:56.540 on education.

00:13:57.580 We even have

00:13:58.500 a supposed conservative,

00:14:00.060 but he's starting up

00:14:00.860 the new

00:14:01.440 Progressive Conservative Party,

00:14:03.240 Pete Guthrie here,

00:14:04.740 trying to attack

00:14:05.360 the government on this.

00:14:06.860 He's joined

00:14:07.780 with Scott Sinclair

00:14:08.760 and they're taking over

00:14:09.820 the Alberta Party

00:14:10.660 and trying to change his name

00:14:11.780 to the Progressive Conservatives.

00:14:13.620 And they've just moved left.

00:14:16.280 There's no way

00:14:16.980 of saying this.

00:14:17.540 They are not moving,

00:14:18.760 they're not joining

00:14:19.380 the Alberta Party

00:14:20.140 and trying to restart

00:14:21.080 the Progressive Conservatives

00:14:22.140 out of any principled stance

00:14:23.560 against the government.

00:14:24.800 They are just hacks.

00:14:26.540 They also don't like

00:14:27.500 Daniel Smith,

00:14:28.120 so they're literally using

00:14:29.240 NDP talking points

00:14:30.400 to attack her.

00:14:32.060 Honorable member

00:14:33.060 from Airdrie Cocker.

00:14:35.960 Mr. Speaker,

00:14:37.280 today I rise

00:14:38.040 to oppose

00:14:38.600 this UCP government's

00:14:39.760 decision to legislate

00:14:40.820 Alberta teachers

00:14:41.560 back to work.

00:14:42.520 A decision that

00:14:43.700 abandons fairness,

00:14:45.480 erodes trust,

00:14:46.700 and deepens the issues

00:14:48.160 in our education system.

00:14:50.020 Teachers didn't choose

00:14:51.280 this fight.

00:14:52.280 They were pushed into it

00:14:53.400 by overcrowded classrooms,

00:14:55.460 unsupported students,

00:14:56.740 and by a government

00:14:57.760 that treats education

00:14:59.000 as a political arena

00:15:00.640 instead of a trusted institution.

00:15:03.120 Can we put a missing

00:15:05.180 persons report out

00:15:06.360 for Peter Guthrie?

00:15:07.480 Because apparently

00:15:08.260 he's been abducted

00:15:09.180 by aliens

00:15:09.880 and replaced by this man

00:15:11.540 that's named Peter Guthrie,

00:15:12.820 but does not act

00:15:13.640 like Peter Guthrie.

00:15:15.260 Peter Guthrie was,

00:15:16.300 in fact,

00:15:16.540 the first MLA

00:15:17.400 to endorse Danielle Smith

00:15:18.620 in the UCP leadership race

00:15:20.380 back in 2022,

00:15:21.340 and now he's here

00:15:22.900 limply complaining

00:15:24.520 that she wants

00:15:25.960 teachers to actually teach.

00:15:28.280 Who could have guessed it,

00:15:29.720 Peter,

00:15:30.000 that the government

00:15:30.800 was invested

00:15:31.540 in actually having people

00:15:33.200 do their jobs?

00:15:33.980 Oh, my goodness.

00:15:36.660 Here's another clip

00:15:39.900 of the NDP

00:15:40.980 now trying to go after her.

00:15:42.800 Again, because Danielle Smith

00:15:43.920 is such a mean, mean woman 1.00

00:15:45.260 because she wants kids 0.73

00:15:46.760 to actually get educated.

00:15:48.200 These people can say

00:15:49.000 that they are standing up

00:15:50.260 for children, too.

00:15:51.280 They are not.

00:15:52.120 They do not care

00:15:53.180 if children are being educated

00:15:54.420 or not.

00:15:54.800 It sounds like the minister

00:15:55.640 once again said

00:15:56.480 that class sizes don't matter.

00:15:57.840 The funny thing

00:15:58.520 about funding

00:15:59.180 the education system properly

00:16:00.420 is so there's enough teachers

00:16:01.760 and EAs to support all students.

00:16:04.080 Well, that's just

00:16:04.580 the UCP's responsibility

00:16:05.640 as government.

00:16:06.580 That's their actual job.

00:16:08.180 Teachers shouldn't have

00:16:09.140 to bargain for the UCP

00:16:10.300 to do their job.

00:16:11.560 Parents shouldn't have to...

00:16:12.600 What are you talking about?

00:16:14.100 This clip might have been

00:16:15.040 a bit quiet,

00:16:15.680 but the teacher shouldn't

00:16:16.860 have to bargain

00:16:17.380 to do their job

00:16:18.440 or for the UCP

00:16:19.360 to do their job.

00:16:20.120 The UCP met

00:16:21.460 every single point

00:16:22.880 that the ATA had asked for

00:16:24.400 and then the ATA is like,

00:16:25.680 oh, my goodness.

00:16:26.780 I can't believe

00:16:27.240 you're not giving us

00:16:27.780 what we want.

00:16:28.300 Like, they literally did.

00:16:29.780 You also have

00:16:30.460 the Alberta Federation

00:16:31.240 of Labour

00:16:32.040 trying to complain

00:16:33.240 about this too,

00:16:34.680 which is literally run

00:16:35.800 by Gil McGowan

00:16:37.120 who ran for the Alberta

00:16:38.580 NDP leadership.

00:16:40.680 This guy is attempting

00:16:42.120 to pretend

00:16:43.460 as if he has

00:16:45.600 any credibility

00:16:46.340 on this issue.

00:16:47.340 He doesn't.

00:16:48.280 Check this out.

00:16:48.960 Gil McGowan

00:16:49.480 speaking on behalf

00:16:51.520 of the Alberta

00:16:51.920 Federation of Labour.

00:16:52.940 She has provided us

00:16:54.320 with a rallying cry.

00:16:56.820 She has now,

00:16:58.080 and we now have

00:16:58.960 one common purpose,

00:17:00.880 and that purpose

00:17:01.860 is to topple

00:17:03.360 this government.

00:17:04.560 Yes.

00:17:14.000 Not just for the sake

00:17:15.440 of the teachers,

00:17:16.360 not just for the sake

00:17:17.600 of bargaining rights,

00:17:19.060 but for the sake

00:17:20.080 of our shared democracy

00:17:21.720 and the future

00:17:22.920 of our province.

00:17:24.880 This should tell you

00:17:26.120 that it's absolutely

00:17:27.980 true when I say this

00:17:28.840 that the left

00:17:30.020 only thinks

00:17:30.880 it's democracy

00:17:31.480 when they win.

00:17:32.920 It's only democracy

00:17:33.900 when the left

00:17:34.500 gets what it wants.

00:17:36.160 So,

00:17:37.000 the Alberta government

00:17:38.180 gives a very generous

00:17:39.860 offering to teachers,

00:17:40.920 twice,

00:17:41.560 gets rejected twice,

00:17:42.960 and that is used

00:17:43.660 to trigger a strike

00:17:44.660 in which

00:17:45.920 they are demanding

00:17:47.100 the very things

00:17:47.880 that the Alberta government

00:17:48.800 was offering.

00:17:50.700 And,

00:17:51.180 apparently,

00:17:51.780 it is a travesty

00:17:52.920 to democracy

00:17:53.720 that Daniel Smith

00:17:55.460 got a little fed up

00:17:56.940 with them

00:17:57.340 and just forced them

00:17:58.560 back to work

00:17:59.180 because,

00:18:00.400 you know what?

00:18:01.080 Do your jobs,

00:18:02.100 whiners.

00:18:02.960 And,

00:18:03.120 she's even throwing 1.00

00:18:04.300 in the benefits,

00:18:05.020 too.

00:18:05.140 She's not even

00:18:05.620 taking those away.

00:18:06.680 They still get

00:18:07.240 what she was offering.

00:18:08.380 They just actually

00:18:08.960 have to do their jobs,

00:18:10.100 which is,

00:18:10.560 you know,

00:18:10.780 what a concept.

00:18:11.960 An Alberta teacher

00:18:12.560 should actually teach.

00:18:14.060 And,

00:18:14.260 there are great teachers

00:18:15.300 all across Alberta.

00:18:16.640 Most of the teachers,

00:18:17.560 part of the ATA,

00:18:18.240 because you have

00:18:18.760 to be part of it,

00:18:19.720 are obviously

00:18:20.820 going to be

00:18:21.320 mostly great teachers.

00:18:23.160 But,

00:18:23.540 this is why

00:18:24.220 these unions

00:18:25.220 just need to have

00:18:26.180 all of their power

00:18:27.000 stripped away from them.

00:18:28.140 We need

00:18:28.540 right-to-work legislation

00:18:29.880 that allows teachers

00:18:31.460 to opt out

00:18:32.360 of being part

00:18:33.420 of unions

00:18:34.000 like the ATA

00:18:34.840 because they are

00:18:36.080 worthless front groups

00:18:37.620 for the NDP

00:18:38.420 who don't actually

00:18:39.620 care about the issues

00:18:40.380 they supposedly

00:18:41.020 say they care about.

00:18:42.200 They care about

00:18:43.060 opposing conservatives.

00:18:45.900 Ugh.

00:18:47.020 This is a breath

00:18:47.840 of fresh air.

00:18:48.500 As frustrating

00:18:49.160 as this issue is,

00:18:50.140 the way that

00:18:50.600 Alberta Premier

00:18:51.520 Daniel Smith

00:18:52.040 has been acting

00:18:52.680 is a breath

00:18:53.360 of fresh air

00:18:53.880 because I work

00:18:54.900 as a policy

00:18:55.880 and communications

00:18:56.640 advisor

00:18:57.240 in British Columbia

00:18:58.480 for the 1BC party

00:18:59.740 and we have to deal

00:19:00.900 with a BCNDP

00:19:02.160 government

00:19:02.700 which just gave

00:19:03.920 to the BC

00:19:04.680 General Employees

00:19:05.680 Union

00:19:05.980 for a much

00:19:07.420 bigger wage

00:19:08.220 increase

00:19:08.720 for no reason

00:19:10.840 in particular.

00:19:12.220 The union

00:19:12.980 has never missed

00:19:13.900 a big pay increase

00:19:15.240 in British Columbia

00:19:16.820 and yet

00:19:17.760 we just have

00:19:19.040 to give them more

00:19:19.620 and because

00:19:20.380 it's in a

00:19:21.120 pro-union government

00:19:23.400 they pretend

00:19:24.500 to bargain with them

00:19:25.240 and then just give

00:19:25.780 them everything

00:19:26.180 they want

00:19:26.720 at the same time

00:19:27.560 the private sector

00:19:28.300 is falling apart.

00:19:29.460 It's stupid.

00:19:30.860 It's frustrating.

00:19:32.160 And then you'll have

00:19:32.640 the Green Party

00:19:33.240 come out and say

00:19:33.740 that wasn't enough.

00:19:34.980 You'll even have

00:19:35.360 the BC Conservatives

00:19:36.140 say why isn't

00:19:37.220 the government

00:19:37.720 bargaining with the unions?

00:19:40.140 One BC is the only 0.98

00:19:41.040 party saying like

00:19:41.660 hey Conservatives

00:19:42.380 are you not going

00:19:42.920 to be conservative?

00:19:44.040 The union's asking

00:19:45.060 for too much.

00:19:46.020 They should be told

00:19:46.880 to pack sand.

00:19:48.540 Anyways.

00:19:50.260 That should be it

00:19:51.080 for me today guys.

00:19:52.360 Thank you for watching.

00:19:53.500 Good on Daniel Smith

00:19:54.560 for doing the right thing

00:19:55.640 and I hope that she wins

00:19:56.880 the next election.

00:19:58.220 Anyways.

00:19:58.880 With that being said

00:19:59.620 see you guys all later.
