The Alberta government has released draft regulations detailing how compensation will be determined for Albertans permanently injured in vehicle collisions.
Well ... It appears that even the Smith Government seems to have not learned from the experience of others in other locations.
This is one of those cases where those nine words "I'm from the Government and I'm here to help." should get Albertans quite upset at Smith and gang.
... Anywhere this has been done it has ended badly except for the Insurance companies.
Having said that and in general Smith is batting close to 1000 on almost every issue so this one is the exception.
She is, after all human but I suspect given what seems to be the overwhelming negative reaction on this one perhaps she will reconsider her course of action on this topic as well.
Looks like a set up for the insurance companies. This same BS was done a few years back, in BC. It was a disaster. People ended up suing anyway. The insurance companies are escaping payouts. And the payout is on the individual. If the government wanted to do something effective, they would have better driver training and better traffic control , by having police patrols. As it is you never see a cop out there unless they're out out to get their monthly quota.

this is atrocious, someone who is permanently injured and unable to work in their chosen profession anymore cannot survive on this amounts!
