This is good to see.

Each of these four reactors at the Pickering Nuclear Power Plant generate more electricity in a year than all the solar farms in Canada combined.

We can’t build enough additional solar or wind capacity to replace them in any reasonable timeframe.

It is not quite as sketchy as it sounds, but it’s still bad.

The medications in question are specially medications such as biologics that have unusual requirements like needing to be administered via infusion in a clinic by a nurse, or ultra expensive medications that are 10,000$+ per dose that insurance companies don’t want mishandled and need to be discarded. All stuff that you wouldn’t normally be able to stock at your corner pharmacy.

The pharmacists need special training on these medications, by limiting it to a particular chain, in theory they can ensure better care (which in theory saves insurance companies on claims on medications that were improperly delivered.).

But still, there’re several specialty pharmacy chains that deal with these medications, patients should have the right to choose where they get their medication.

This is the same premier that declared a moratorium on new grid scale solar and wind farms. Alberta has some of the most optimal conditions in Canada for solar power and we can’t build it, because….

The oversimplified explanation is that having a lottery is heavily regulated in Canada as will all forms of gambling, but offering a prize for a contest of skill is not. And frankly it’s never been a priority for anyone to modernize the laws to something more straightforward.

Legally you can have a “contest of skill” and arbitrary decide a winner at random if there’s a tie. This eventually evolved into the typical “math question with a minimum of 4 operands”, which was ruled as essentially the minimum threshold for demonstrating a degree of skill.

You’re dreaming if you think there’s a technological way to enforce access restrictions. You can’t do it with “browser attestation” or “APIs”.

I would create the evidence party.

It has the stated objective of maximizing quality of life for all Canadians.

It doesn’t care what people think is the best way to do that, it looks at research to determine what is the actual best way to do that and commission’s research to determine the most effective policies when existing evidence doesn’t exist.

It flip-flops on any issue when new research supports a different policy.
