Opinion: Alberta's plan to limit free COVID vaccines makes no sense
Alberta's decision not to pay for most COVID shots makes no sense, on any level, nor do the arguments used to try to justify the policy.

Among other things, Bill 54 includes a series of awful undemocratic election reforms and Bill 55 allows for private hospitals.
