Teachers strikes are tough, they directly affect a huge portion of the population and I don’t believe teachers are paid that unfairly in general but it is unfair what they are asked to deal with on a daily basis. Education is a such a mess with so many children in regular classrooms that need extra support but there is never enough to go around. What bothers me is it’s always the same message from the unions that they want to improve classroom conditions. Then negotiations finish, teachers get the raise but guess what doesn’t improve. If they would focus on making working/classroom conditions alone better then it would be easy to get the vast majority of the population behind them. Why not prioritize making every teacher’s job easier than getting that extra 4% raise?

On page 12, Leger is reporting the „NET Fair“, however the numbers do not represent a „net“ of anything; it’s just the **sum** of those who approve of the Alberta Government’s use of Section 33 to impose a contract. If it said „total“, that would make sense. But „net“ usually implies subtracting the opposing viewpoint, e.g. [as Abacus Data does when discussing voters‘ „net approval“ of Mark Carney](https://abacusdata.ca/abacus-data-poll-budget-lands-softly-as-political-deadlock-continues/).
Is Leger trying to redefine the term „net“ to appease someone, is there a more technical definition that is universally respected, or is this just a dumb mistake on page 12?
