What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

The University of Calgary released a report commissioned by the Alberta government detailing the costs of separation from Canada. The report states the minimum cost would be $50 billion over the first five years, potentially topping out at $170 billion, covering infrastructure and Alberta’s share of federal debt. The study presented two scenarios, showing that in the short term, the overall economy might be 2.2 per cent lower, but in the long term, it could be 3.4 per cent higher.
