The average salary in Albert is approximately 50,631 US dollars per year. The minimum wage of Alberta at $ 15 per hour is the lowest in Canada. To make ends meet, many Albertans were forced to work full time and work on a part -time work. All working Albertans are faced with constant installation pressure and problems in the workplace. The vast majority do not have a pension plan, no benefits, no jobs, labor, long hours, have not received an increase in wages over the years and are limited to two or three weeks. As a result of their limited income, many working Albertans were forced to contact the food bank in order to feed their family. Maybe the time has come that some of our more successful workers begin to see the glass half, and not half.

Who does not communicate?

In response to the letter on October 1, that Alberta teachers do not communicate with the Albertans, I would say that he is the one who does not communicate. Teachers pay for salaries and often work late at night and on the weekend mark exams and lessons planning, therefore, before criticizing, you may get real facts. From the father of the great, hardworking teacher.

There are no more trade unions

When I grew up, there were no trade unions of public service. People who decided to be teachers or public workers considered their career a public service, and they accepted the salary and compensation that the government proposed. There were no negotiations, no negotiations and no attacks on public service. It's time to return to this model and understanding of the public service. Our government should be completely accountable and responsible to the province of the people, and freely determine the conditions of employment in the public service.

Loss of enterprises

In my opinion, all these talk about how to get rid of Canada is erroneous. But taxpayers subsidize it in the amount of 1.2 billion dollars a year, say, say! This, of course, is a lot of money, in fact, it is almost the same as we spend subsidizing CBC ($ 1.5 billion). The difference, of course, lies in the fact that Canada Post provides services to 40 million Canadians, while CBC observes less than 2% of Canadian spectators. Should we get rid of all government institutions and Crown corporations that lose money? If so, what did it leave? Despite the fact that some changes should be made to Canadian mail, now is not the time to eliminate it at all.
