Crisis in Alberta Classrooms // B.C.’s Bizarre Election

Alberta's set to spend nearly $9 billion on new schools, but teachers say it won't fix a system in crisis. Meantime, voters in B.C. are deadlocked leading up to one of the most bizarre elections the province has ever seen. We try to make sense of it all in this episode of Real Talk. 

2:35 | Alberta Teachers' Association president Jason Schilling explains why 90 new schools won't fix Alberta's classroom crunch. We talk about controversial funding for private schools, over-tested students, new curriculum, and smartphone bans.
