And yes, the systems could be consolidated and amalgamated from a resource perspective. Do you think the various unions would love that conversation? I have no doubt that an attempt to do this would face opposition.

I don't know what you are arguing. Even the UCP have acknowledged that Alberta has not built enough schools to keep up with the population growth. That is why they announced that they are building 100 more schools.
The problem is their incompetence in even doing this. The Calgary and Edmonton boards have shovels ready projects that are just waiting on funding but the UCP are dicking around trying to figure out how to grift off of the deal (ie. giving buildings to charter schools).
You should listen to Nenshi's AMA that I linked a few pages back. Here is a re-post:

He also solidly calls out the UCP for their culture war distractions. Every time they have something big that they do not want people to pay attention to, they will start a culture war to distract everyone.
Everyone should be furious about these new rules around girls in sports and how easily they can be weaponized against children.
Is that girl on the other team too good? Report her.
Is that girl on your team getting the better play time/position? Report her.
Did that girl stand up to your bullying? Report her.
