A few weeks ago, the Nova Scotia government issued a funding announcement for school construction as part of its fiscal plan: $208.5 million, in fact.

We were chatting about my school’s upcoming production of Annie when the premier emerged from a classroom and, somewhat to my surprise, made a point of coming over and greeting me exceptionally warmly. He seemed genuinely happy to see me. There was a quick joke at Johns’s expense about wanting free tickets to the show and a brief conversation about overcrowding at our school, then I went about my day.

However, even the most optimistic of Nova Scotians might want to reevaluate that impression based on the fact the Nova Scotia Teachers Union has called for a strike vote on April 11. An election is being held to determine the next NSTU provincial president, and I am one of several teachers, passionate and capable unionists all, running for the position.
