I just don't understand this either. And to blame increasing health care costs on an aging population is wrong too.

The number of people aged 65 and older is rising in Alberta as is their share of total population. Still, Alberta’s share is far lower than the national average (11% vs. 15% in 2012). Only the territories have a lower proportion of seniors. This is primarily a reflection of the draw of Alberta’s economy on job seekers aged 25 to 54 years.
Alberta's health care system is broken and has been for a long time and the PC's have had decades to fix it and their attempts have been pitiful.
