If you visit the website of any Canadian teachers’ union, you might think that all teachers reside on the far left of the political spectrum.
For example, the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) is not shy about taking left-leaning stands on controversial political topics. Among other things, the BCTF supports student climate strikes, advocates for more spending on social programs, promotes unrestricted access to abortion and opposes the construction of new oil pipelines.
