Who's talking about $20 billion? The fact that we are essentially gambling and will be spending millions to do so in both direct and indirect cost (e.g. direct lawyer costs, bureaucratic productivity man hours, opportunity cost spent governing) is probably going to climb.
This strategy is effectively playing Roulette with our taxpayer money and betting on 00, and we have one shot.
I'll give Kenney all kinds of credit if somehow this all comes together and we get back $20 billion for Alberta. That is just such pie-in-the-sky crap and we're all going to find that out very soon.
For Kenney's sake, I hope Scheer gets into power and the Conservatives bend over backwards to service Alberta's ridiculous demands.
