Alberta Is Struggling to Keep Its Nurses and Teachers | The Walrus
Briefly

The Alberta government recently launched the Better Here campaign, promoting lower taxes and better salary prospects to attract public sector workers. This follow-up to the successful 2022 Alberta Is Calling campaign aims to draw interprovincial migrants. However, local public sector employees, including nurses and teachers, argue these promises contradict their ongoing demands for better wages, working conditions, and staffing levels. Despite a substantial financial investment in the campaign, many feel it fails to address the reality of their struggles, highlighted by organized rallies for respect and compensation over the past year.
