Has Danielle Smith ever had an original thought or is she just pulling everything she says out of the MAGA playbook?

Reopen the government Get back to work and we can negotiate to protect healthcare for millions of Americans you concerns. - - MAGA Mike Johnston Danielle Smith

You said that they needed more teachers and more EAs. That takes money. Being paid a lot more makes you willing to deal with a lot more. The old, "They don't pay me enough for this shit" refrain comes to mind. If they took the $30 billion they are handing out in corporate welfare and put it into education it would go a LONG way to solving the problem.

    Where do you get this "30 billion in corporate welfare" figure from? Is that money that is taken from the provincial budget and given to corporations, or is that tax breaks? Big difference.

    The Fraser Institute. That's just direct handouts. That's taking money that the citizens of Alberta paid into their government for things like healthcare and EDUCATION that are instead being given to for profit corporations. When you include tax breaks and other incentives it's likely much higher.
