Welcome to Hub Hits.

I'm Falice Chin, Alberta Bureau Chief for The Hub.

Winning an election is one thing.

Governing is another.

It's a pleasure to be on The Hub, my first time.

Christy Clark served as Premier of British Columbia from 2011 to 2017, leading the province under the B.C. Liberal banner, a broad coalition, as you heard, that after several political realignments has largely found a new home in today's B.C. Conservative Party.

After months of debate, analysis, economic projections and not to mention countless uncomfortable conversations about what it means to be Canadian, Alberta is finally heading to the polls.

Premier Danielle Smith has said that she hopes a decisive answer on question 10 will put the idea of separation to bed.

Ted Morton served on the province's advisory panel on the economic impacts of separation.

He's a professor emeritus of political science at the University of Calgary and has previously served as Alberta's finance minister and energy minister.

The federal government says it's a project of national interest, but what exactly is that political support worth? Today, we're taking another look at the proposed Pacific Link project, a million barrel a day oil pipeline to be led by Trans Mountain Corporation, largely following the existing Trans Mountain Corridor.

And this could become a test case for Canada's ability to build much bigger things to come.

And we really appreciate the opportunity to share our thoughts and compare notes.

You've been listening to Hub Hits.

It must be Canada.

This episode, I'm talking to Falice Chin, the Hub's Alberta bureau chief.

She's been following this pipeline when it was just an item on Danielle Smith's Ottawa wish list.

Now it's got federal backing, a fancy national interest project label, and some very convenient political timing.

And there are a bunch of hurdles that will have to be overcome.

Falice Chin is the Hub's Alberta Bureau Chief.

I spoke with her about that earlier today.

Your latest piece here, you make an important distinction right near the beginning that we've moved here.

Appreciate it.

Thank you so much, Shay.
