No, they're not really.

Alberta (i.e. the provincial government) isn't struggling to keep them, it's actively discouraging them from staying. They're getting underpaid, public schools are underfunded and overcrowded, the curriculum is being rewritten by racists to promote a Eurocentric perspective (along with "don't bother with university," and "O&G are our friends!"), and generally making things as horrible as they can.

They are deliberately, methodically, maliciously driving good teachers away from the province and undermining public education, in order to force the adoption of charter and private schools.

There is no struggle, only harm.

Exactly right. Look what two generations of undermining public sector education has done for conservatives south of the border. The UCP is salivating at the prospect.

Signed: teacher who fled Alberta, largely for political reasons. I thought I was taking a pay cut to leave, but I just checked and I earn more in this province now, too. Alberta did not give raises at all close to covering inflation since I left!

I thought Doug Ford was the Ontario Premier! /s

Heh. As bad as Ford is, I'd trade you for Smith in a heartbeat.

Actually, maybe not - Smith could do much more damage with a province the size of Ontario.

PAY THEM WHAT THEY'RE WORTH. Problem solved.

Or don’t force them to give out horse paste and ban books.

Hmm...wonder why.
