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.

Every government in Canada has a staff of attorneys at all times.
What extra costs?
Maybe they bring in a constitutional specialist or a former SC judge to advise and guide them, but the cost will be negligible at best.
