Sunday (April 13th) will be the 200th birthday of “Canada’s First Nationalist” and the most important Father of Confederation you might not know!

Last week, we wrote to you about the importance of keeping Ottawa out of our provincial education system.

If the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) just read our emails, they could have had a 7 month head-start.

In our mission to promote the advantages of choice and competition, we've had a high-profile convert.

It's a convert you might least expect; it's a public school board.

From time to time, we have countered some school choice myths.

Since it’s a school trustee election year, we want to counter a school choice myth related to school trustees, specifically.

The Alberta Parents’ Union brought your voice to an international audience!

We've told you before that Alberta is a world leader in school choice.

The Calgary Catholic School Division is holding a by-election to fill two trustee vacancies on January 31st.

One of the vacancies - in Wards 11/12 - was caused by the death of Cathie Williams in July 2024.

But, the earlier vacancy - in Wards 4/7 - dates back to December 14th, 2022 - more than two years ago.

How? Why?

Well, let us explain...

Including parents in their children’s education is not only the right thing to do, it’s also common sense.

And, it is popular!

The Alberta government’s policies on gender identity policies in schools were introduced to the Legislature on October 31st as Bill 27.

In short, we got both a little more and a little less than we were promised when the ideas were first introduced in January.

Believe it or not, the Alberta Parents’ Union and the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) have found common ground in opposing the same policy.
