## Resource

Playbook Canada launches a special summer series on Alberta’s fight with Ottawa. First up, Martha Hall Findlay. The Alberta government has asked the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy to produce a study on the economic and fiscal consequences of separation. Hall Findlay is leading the project, and she had lots to say about the October referendum and the turnout problem hiding inside it, the pipeline announcements that landed during Stampede, and why “We gave you TMX!” is the worst thing Central Canadians can say to an Albertan.
