No, they're not really.

Alberta (i.e. the provincial government) isn't struggling to keep them, it's actively discouraging them from staying. They're getting underpaid, public schools are underfunded and overcrowded, the curriculum is being rewritten by racists to promote a Eurocentric perspective (along with "don't bother with university," and "O&G are our friends!"), and generally making things as horrible as they can.

They are deliberately, methodically, maliciously driving good teachers away from the province and undermining public education, in order to force the adoption of charter and private schools.

There is no struggle, only harm.

Exactly right. Look what two generations of undermining public sector education has done for conservatives south of the border. The UCP is salivating at the prospect.

Signed: teacher who fled Alberta, largely for political reasons. I thought I was taking a pay cut to leave, but I just checked and I earn more in this province now, too. Alberta did not give raises at all close to covering inflation since I left!

PAY THEM WHAT THEY'RE WORTH. Problem solved.

Theres a reason every left leaning government runs massive deficits and never funds a single program with taxes, you get voted out instantly if you do raise taxes. Therefore there seems to be a slow erosion of everything as inflation eats up salaries whether its left or the right.
