@LizanneFoster As you would well-know, the #BCTF is doing very little to challenge the #BCNDP on their exceptionally poor contract offer; while the NDP are being rather intractable, the BCTF doesn't fight as hard for labour issues as it does for social justice issues - that's the problem.

@LizanneFoster Teachers: forever gaslit by NDP and BC Libs, 2 sides of the same corporate coin
@LizanneFoster Pretty sad state of affairs that teachers keep falling behind. I will walk the lines with the @bctf teachers. I will also walk the line with @FPSE members. And I WILL NOT CROSS A PICKET LINE, but I will bring doughnuts and coffee to one!
@LizanneFoster I’m so fed up with this rhetoric and this broken system. I’m tired of fighting for all kids & what’s right . I’ve put my own family, finances and health at stake. Losing amazing teachers to underfunded and overloaded systems and trauma, lack of safety, protection, respect….
