700,000 students locked out as Alberta teachers STAY HOME + Libs attack speech & privacy rights

On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims breaks down Alberta’s first teachers’ strike in more than two decades.

More than 700,000 students are out of class and 50,000 teachers are on strike — after rejecting a deal that would have made them the highest-paid teachers in Western Canada, with a 12% raise over four years and 4,500 new hires. Premier Danielle Smith’s government says the offer was generous and is now redirecting $30 a day per child back to parents while the strike continues.

Kris argues Alberta taxpayers can’t afford higher demands, with provincial debt exceeding $84 billion and $3 billion in annual interest payments, “the equivalent of burning down three brand-new hospitals every year.”

Later, Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms president John Carpay joins to break down sweeping Liberal bills that threaten Canadians’ privacy, free speech, and due process. Carpay warns these bills would let the federal cabinet kick citizens off the internet, open mail without warrants, and prosecute “hate speech” without attorney general oversight.

They also discuss the upcoming sentencing of Freedom Convoy leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, as prosecutors seek seven and eight years in jail for “mischief” convictions — despite a court ruling declaring the Emergencies Act unconstitutional.
