Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

Provincial Priorities Act (Bill 9, 2023)
This bill empowers Alberta to veto federal funding agreements with third parties — think universities, municipalities, and nonprofits. The province can now kill deals between the feds and anyone inside Alberta if it feels excluded.
