Policies like the ones in the article, the removal of complexity billing codes, drastically reducing GP earnings.

But AFAICT mostly it's their lack of constructive new models. Alberta has been fiddling at the margins with changes like dividing up the province into districts. OTOH BC introduced a wildly successful new physician pay model almost 2 years ago. I indirectly know several doctors who moved from Saskatchewan & Ontario to BC partly because of that.

P.S. I should emphasize that the new BC physician pay model not only attracts new doctors but it also encourages rostering, encouraging doctors to become the single point of generalist GP that is becoming scarce in Alberta according to the article.
