So if parents of kids 12 and under get the money...that would mean busboobs must think 13 year olds are mature enough to fend for themselves and are capable little human beings, unless its decisions around names/pronouns/etc in which case they are not at all capable and cannot be trusted.
So which is it?
And also, if you’re a minor who’s over 13, don’t you dare question the government or else mom will give you a good spank.

This story has gained a lot of traction over the last several hours. I’ve seen it plastered all over social media today, including the kid’s response from Reddit. I don’t think this is gonna just go away like Smith wants.
Also, the press needs to do their job and really hold the UCP’s feet to the fire on this one.
The press is owned by US Republicans, they're going to bury this.
We need a cooperative citizen owned media outlet, does CP want to get the ball rolling on it?

As to the comment itself, I am not normally one to be an alarmist about speech, but it seems to me a much more problematic issue than what can be brought to an end by a seemingly fake 'apology' posted on 'X' and the Premier stating that therefore the matter is closed.
The Executive Director, Premier's Southern Alberta Office while engaged in the cutting off of clearly protected speech under section 2 of the Charter declared to an identified individual high school student:
Then after Evan continues to pose his question seeking it to be answered even though his mic has been cut off, the highly placed government official said to the teenager in front of the assembled public...and being published to the internet:
There is no real way around the fact that a government official who reports only to the Chief of Staff of the Premier and then the Premier herself, publicly declared that because he did not agree with the manner in which the kid was exercising his right to free speech, he ought to be subjected to a criminal domestic assault by his own parents.
Any thoughts on how this student could pursue remedy for this situation, and what the remedy might look like? Any suggestions on case law that might be relevant here?
Enforcement – section 24
Enforcement of guaranteed rights and freedoms
24. (1) Anyone whose rights or freedoms, as guaranteed by this Charter, have been infringed or denied may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain such remedy as the court considers appropriate and just in the circumstances.
I think the UCP are going to find out in a hurry that while the general public doesn’t really get all that bent out of shape over a private business using their own money to bust a union during a dispute, tax payers aren’t going to be as thrilled about spending their hard earned money on it. Especially those who don’t have any kids in school that aren’t getting a dime out of it.

Looks like you were right about needing a strike fund…..
I think people will accept the math of the government paying for care in lieu of education as reasonable. All they need to say is we are disbursing about half of the savings from the strike from those most affected. For the people without kids the net savings message will resonate.

Not all kids are eligible. Basically works out to grade 1-6 only. So be kids/parents not receiving it as well which grinds down the number versus all students/teachers.
you are awesome and would be the 1%. Parents are definitely pocketing the money.
I'm in a position where the impact of the strike for me will be needing to make my kids do some schoolwork every day. I work from home, my Mom has an inlaw suite in my house. So childcare really is not a concern for me. So it's easier fir me to just put the money towards something else.
For a few parents with younger kids, this is a lot trickier so I can't fault them if they need to find child care and use it for that. Most want their kids to have better classroom conditions...but it's going to make it tough on a lot of people needing care when things are stressful enough as is.
For kids at least its early enough in the year that they can make up some lost time unless they're in a quadmester setup. When I was 13 the teachers went on strike for three weeks in May. For me it was awesome...I could walk to the golf course and golf every day. Although our class trip to Toronto being threatened was worrying. But for grade 12 kids or other highschool kids.. that could be stressful to have it close to exams.

I know it’s pointless and semantic but does anyone have the rough number of:
- number of unionized teachers?
- number of children under grade 6?
- contract length? 5 year?
Just want to do rough numbers of salary increase that could be paid with this absurd 30 buck thing with # of days on strike vs contract on the other axis that could have been paid for.
