NEW - Alberta’s Education Crisis and the Cost of Government Choices
Description
Alberta’s teachers are on the brink of striking, and it’s a symptom of larger problems in education and public services. Shane Hewitt and Rob Breakenridge break down why Alberta spends less per student than any other province, how strained relationships between government and educators complicate negotiations, and what this means for communities.
The conversation widens to healthcare and budgeting, where rising deficits and political decisions are reshaping services across the province. Beyond Alberta, the federal government’s military procurement challenges reveal a national issue: endless bureaucracy, ballooning costs, and little transparency. Together, these topics highlight how government choices ripple through classrooms, hospitals, and communities.
