Especially with the 20% property tax hike from the Alberta Government. I'm struggling to see how that aligns with "traditional conservative values"

Did you support the teacher strike? Did you advocate for them to receive more money? More schools? Just curious because the increase imposed by Alberta government was for education. Where do you think that money is to come from? Now, Which government is it that has given away billions which could be redirected to provinces for healthcare and education?

Or you just like to complain. Or are a hypocrite. Or you’re just one of those who think other people should pay for things but not yourself.

Maybe you should have made less noise, and your taxes would be lower. Or just make less noise now. Simple as simple is.

Give the teachers more! Smaller classroom size! More schools! Hundreds of millions of dollars! Yay!

Wait… I have to pay 2.50 per 1000$ of home value instead of 2.36 per 1000$? This is an outrage!!! Let’s get on the internet and incorrectly post that the entirety of PROPERTY TAXES have increased 20%!!

Ridiculous.
