Yeah, I lucked out in having nothing better to do at the time. I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch all of the rest of the series, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it!

I don't really follow baseball at all, and haven't watched any of the playoffs to date. But I did watch this.

"As the labour movement in this province, our leaders have made a commitment to rise to that challenge, defend the teachers and their rights, defend worker rights more broadly, and to defend our democracy. We have no choice."

[Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour] stopped short of confirming whether that response would include a provincewide strike, but said, “it’s one of the things that's actively under consideration."

I'm not in Alberta, but pay doesn't seem to be the sticking point here - the union is trying to negotiate on class sizes (which AFAIK the province is refusing to even disclose) and classroom supports.

This has always been the case, but I'm going to take this opportunity to state that links to that site are not allowed here, and will be removed on sight.

Thank you - this is what I'm here for.

I took it from a news article from last week, which suggests pretty strongly that that proposal is exactly what was implemented, and they never produced an updated graphic.

But again, I'd welcome a genuine correction.

If you have additional information that contradicts it, I'd happy to see it. I don't live in Quebec, and only know what I know.
