No one wins, but particularly not the kids, when Canadian labour unions and political agitators start seeing dollar signs and opportunities after spending two years in a medically-induced coma.
There is only one answer to this, and that is school choice with vouchers. Public education in Canada started with the most noble of intentions, but like most things in government, has become a cancer that is terminal. On top of all of this is the pathetic job they are doing with our kids, and their complete inefficiency. It's not going to get any better, it will only get worse. These unions act as if they are in a struggle with the government, when in reality, they are just blackmailing the taxpayers. There is no place for unions in the public sector and we need to find ways around them before they bankrupt us.
Quite possibly your most acceptable piece yet. Betty's tweet (which I hadn't seen until now) is profoundly good.
