I hope both sides are able to come to a fair and reasonable solution. While the province loses public support and teachers lose pay, the biggest losers are the children.

Minimal tweaks to salary in this offer (the roll out and structure so everyone gets the proposed % increase) and you'd have the majority of teachers sign off today as long as the other critical items like class size caps, educational assistants numbers are actually addressed.
Instead we're being gaslit by elected officials to believe that the half billion churning into private education is inconsequential, and the existing education budget is all their is to work with. In 6 months we'll be hearing about another $4B dollar surplus going who knows where too.
