The taxpayers of BC fund the policing services of the RCMP who provide municipal, regional and provincial policing. Same as Alberta taxpayers. BC came very close two years ago to ending the contract with the RCMP, so it can be done. Unfortunately we signed another 20 year contract... with a clause that we can get out of it in 3 more years. As a province, BC can absolutely refuse to fund any mj prosecution, it is our money... I think you are underestimating the power of a province to flex some muscle. Just like Obama did with Colorado and Washington, Harper will avoid going to war with the people of BC, it's a loser's bet, for absolutely no payoff.
