Announcements from the Alberta Transition Council, newest first. Each release is available to read online and as a PDF for reprint.
The Council releases Forward to Freedom and the Budget and Costing Report. The one-time cost of becoming a country is estimated at about C$5 billion, and Alberta could have C$22.2 billion to C$32.1 billion a year left after paying the costs of running an independent country.
The Transition Plan sets out what has to be done. Forward to Freedom shows Alberta can pay for it. The Budget and Costing Report puts a number on every domain.
