Their main beef is "They make more in Alberta!". Yeah, and? They make less in Newfoundland, whats your fucking point? Everyone earns more in Alberta; plumbers, electricians, mechanics, teachers, government employees, Alberta's economy rocks BC's atm. Doctors earn far more in the States, should our Canadian doctors strike because someone somewhere else has it better?
If I thought half the teachers out there gave a fuck, I'd support them, but in all of high school I had 3 teachers that were competent and seemed to genuinely give a shit. Most them were really there for the paycheque and seemed to hate teaching and barely tolerate the students, or were massively fucking incompetent.
I say get the cock out of your ass and get to work. If you like Alberta's wages better, move there.
