A province cannot interfere in anything that is a valid exercise of federal authority. If constitutionally valid federal regs require firms disclose info, that can't be subject to provincial approval/vetting.

This is worse than I thought. Let’s say you pay $1000 to insure a vehicle.
Next year, it could go up 7.5%, so now you pay $1075.
The next year it goes up another 7.5%, so now you pay $1156.
After that it COULD go down 20%, so you pay $924, and you get less coverage.
Bonkers.

Alberta’s UCP Government decided to raise your auto insurance by 7.5% over the next 2 years.
People are worried about the cost of everything - rent, groceries, utilities - yet Danielle Smith thinks you should pay more.
Who are they working for?
Clearly not the people of Alberta.
