The Evan Bray Show - Michael Zwaagstra - July 24th, 2025

School may be out for the summer, but as we near the end of July, holidays are already half over and students are just one month away from back-to-school! When Saskatchewan teachers went on strike last year, a lot was up in the air, like extracurricular activities, sporting events and even graduation. Some even argue that kids lost precious learning time in the classroom. Michael Zwaagstra, a Manitoba public high school teacher, education policy researcher and senior fellow with the Fraser Institute, believes there's a better way for teachers to get what they want. He joins Evan to share why he believes strikes should be banned and teachers should use binding arbitration.
