AngularJS boolean value always returns true in scope

So I have a state which takes two specific parameters (subjectID & isCalc):

  .state('tabsController.formulaPicker', {
    url: '/my/:subjectID?withCalc',
    views: {
      'tab1': {
        templateUrl: 'templates/formulaPicker.html',
        controller: 'formulaPickerCtrl'
      }
    }
  })

& In my controller I have:

  .controller('formulaPickerCtrl', function ($scope, $stateParams, $http) {
    $scope.subjectID = $stateParams.subjectID;
    $scope.subjectName = '';
    $scope.withCalc = $stateParams.withCalc;
    $scope.formulas = [];

    $http.get('../Data.json')
      .success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
        // Alerts correct value
        alert($scope.withCalc);
        // Always returns true
        $scope.subjectSet = ($scope.withCalc) ? data.subjects : data.subjects_no_calc;
        $scope.subjectName = $scope.subjectSet[$scope.subjectID].name;
        $scope.formulas = $scope.subjectSet[$scope.subjectID].formulas;
      })
      .error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
      })
      .then(function (result) {
      });
  })

But in the line where I declare the scope's subjectSet value, I have a ternary operator that checks the isCalc bool value, it returns a specific set of data from the json file I'm requesting. Every time I load the controller it alerts the isCalc value, which I want & is correct. But the ternary expression always returns true, even though it alerted false. This causes me to return the wrong set of values.

I two ui-sref properties from the first controller:

ui-sref="tabsController.formulaPicker({subjectID: $index, withCalc: true})"

for the first section &

"tabsController.formulaPicker({subjectID: $index, withCalc: false})"

for the second section.

Remember it alerts the correct value but the ternary expression always returns true no matter what.

Thank you in advance.

Check whether $scope.withCals is not a String Object. You may need to convert it explicitly to Boolean.
