Canadian Politics Today

The answer any lawyer will give you is “it depends”.  But the answer seems to be yes, if done through fed transfers.

Feds can transfer money but can they force provinces to implement federal programs without their consent?  I very much doubt that.  I would think just like health care programs the provinces would want to control the programs.

There needs to be a lot of money pumped into provincial health care as it is.  Our healthcare is a joke, it is under-funded and rationed to the point of inhumanity, at least in my neck of the woods.
