Alberta intends to opt out of the proposed national pharmacare plan.

    • Yeah how’s that going? (I don’t live in Alberta.)

      It seems to me this idea of opting out of federal programmes might score some quick political points if you’re a have-province, in that it could be argued you’re sinking more into them than you’re getting out. But Alberta has historically had a boom-and-bust economy, and as such, cutting those federal lifelines seems unwise. But what do I know?
