Alberta's Classroom Crunch // B.C. Conservative Party Crumbling
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of Alberta's population boom on education and the decline of B.C.'s Conservative Party.
Alberta’s population boom is putting pressure on just about every part of the province’s infrastructure, and schools are no exception. With more than 87,000 new students entering Alberta’s education system in just four years, we ask Minister of Education Demetrios Nicolaides (4:00) if the province is barely keeping up or actually getting ahead. Meantime, B.C.'s Conservative Party is crumbling, with nine MLAs leaving over the past month alone. Cheryl Oates gives us an insider's look (37:10) at the B.C. Legislature fresh off her contract as Premier David Eby's Chief of Staff. Feature interviews on Real Talk are presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY RapidEX FINANCIAL.
