Sorry, at the top end of the salary grid.

This is before the big retro pay I believe, though I could be wrong.

I think the columns correspond to additional education/professional certifications?

 

[Maxman1]

Really? My daughter has taught for a Catholic board in Ontario for the last five years and makes nowhere near that.

Plus teachers usually aren't paid in the summer.

I realize that. And Czech_pivo's post mentioned the salary over a 40 week work year.

Here’s the grid for Ottawa

An "A4 teacher" is an Ontario teacher who has reached the highest pay category, Category A4, through the Qualifications Evaluation Council of Ontario (QECO). This category is achieved by meeting specific educational requirements, which typically include a four-year undergraduate degree with a B average or higher and an Honour Specialist, or by accumulating additional post-degree qualifications like AQ courses and Specialist certificates.

• Highest category:
  A4 is the top category in the QECO system, signifying the teacher has met the most advanced educational criteria for salary purposes.
  
  
• Initial placement:
  New teachers are usually placed at a lower level, often Category A3, with A4 being the goal of accumulating more qualifications.
  
  • A four-year undergraduate degree: A four-year degree with first or second-class standing plus an Honour Specialist qualification can lead to A4.
    
    
  • Additional qualifications (AQs):Teachers can earn A4 by completing a certain number of AQ courses (such as five) and a three-part Specialist AQ in one subject area.
    
    
  • Master's or Doctoral degree: A master's or doctoral degree can also help a teacher reach a higher category.

Is this elementary or high school? Maxing it out with just an honours undergrad is surprising.

That was for elementary.
High school I’m pretty sure is higher, especially for stuff like chemistry/physics degrees.
I’ll see if I can dig around.

Well teachers are basically at 105-112k/yr for only 40 work weeks a year here in Ontario.

My wife has a masters and two undergrads, 15 years teaching and 6 years a VP and just last year, while doing our taxes, we noticed she finally made more than me.

Prime Minister Mark Carney all of a suddem remembers he has more pressing matters elsewhere in the middle of question period while getting grilled over the Stellantis contract.

Poilievre slams Carney over redacting Stellantis contract, leaving parliament during QP

 

[Oldgateboatdriver]

Bit of over-reaction by the journalist. PM's regularly do not attend Question Period at all, or show up for one question for which they want to be seen answering on the news, then leave. Nothing special here other than the journalist wanting to make it about the Stellantis matter.

Stellantis issue is NOT going away anytime soon. There may be a question of privilege from the parliamentary committee on this issue. Might. Watch and see.

To Trudeau's credit he only attended QP 44% of the time but he always answered MP questions and it doesn't look like he's ever left half way through.

And we have our first major project submitted out of Alberta.

Farkas said the rail line would benefit other southern Alberta communities as well. The proposed rail would have stops in Cochrane, Mînî Thnî and Canmore, for instance.

The gap between teaching and administration is still as small as it was 10, 20, 30, etc years ago, is it?

Administrators are undervalued and hobbled by management rights that get traded away into teaching contracts, and the teaching unions like it that way.

Nurses do ok. My ex made $220K last year, here in Ontario.

In my humble opinion Nurses deserve every penny they make.

She worked her way up. Only answers to the CEO now.

Under the gossamer veil of 'nation building', you would think Alberta would have chosen a Calgary-Edmonton HSR/HFT project rather than a tourist train to a destination that is already horribly overcrowded.

Under the gossamer veil of 'nation building', you would think Alberta would have chosen a Calgary-Edmonton HSR/HFT project rather than a tourist train to a destination that is already horribly overcrowded.

Maybe tourists are willing to pay a premium that other travellers won't? Maybe a way to build experience before trying the latter?

I would love to be able to hop on a train after work in Edmonton, have dinner in Calgary, watch the Oilers crush the Flames, then get back to bed in Edmonton.
