This whole thing is by design, and it's time to quit pretending it isn't. As far back as 2018, the UCP made it their clear policy to defund and debilitate public services. This government hates its own citizens, yet they keep falling over themselves to vote for them, time and time again. The Alberta Paradox.

Won't anyone think of the politicians!?! They can't ensure a sinecure position by willy nilly throwing money at basic societal needs!

Sure, but can you also use what’s inside classrooms as fuel?
