On this episode, Adam chats with Tanner Hnidey -an independent economist with the Alberta Prosperity Project - for a deep dive into answering the question of exactly what equalization payments are, how they work and what it all means for Alberta. From the history of the country back in 1867 to the modern problems facing Alberta, how Quebec fits into all of it and what exactly defines need in the program, this episode is a great primer on how it all hangs together.
