The Canada Project
by Claudia Cattaneo
When Elise, a star Wall Street journalist, is dispatched to Calgary to start covering the Canadian energy scene, she soon meets the charismatic John Hess, an oil company CEO who manipulates her into promoting his business to global investors. But while the rich and powerful corporations battle over resources, their game plan is disrupted by the growth of the off-oil movement in the United States and their campaign to suppress the Canadian oilsands industry. From Western Canada to the centres of political, financial, and oil power in Washington, New York, and Houston, Elise finds herself in the eye of the hurricane as she reports on greedy oil and gas executives, angry environmentalists, and frustrated Indigenous leaders who struggle to find common ground in an ever-changing world. Written by a former energy-sector journalist, The Canada Project is a work of fiction based on the true story of the conflict over Canada’s oilsands industry. It brings to life a piece of Canadian history that has been as transformative and as divisive as any

Claudio Monteverdi was a precocious musical talent who published his first collection of madrigals at age 15. Ambitious and highly confident he was hired as a singer and instrumentalist by Vincenzo Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua in 1590. Mantua and nearby Ferrara were highly important and influential artistic centers, and at various times during his stay in Mantua, Monteverdi was colleagues with the composers Giaches de Wert, Giovanni Gastoldi, Lodovico Viadana, and Salomone Rossi. In addition, the court also employed the poets Guarini, Rinuccini, and probably Tasso, as well as the painters Pieter Pourbus and Peter Paul Rubens. While his colleagues were illustrious and towering figures in the Italian arts scene, Monteverdi started his career not as a composer but as a poorly paid viol player. He was under the supervision of Giacomo Cattaneo, a string player at the court, who also provided the young Monteverdi with lodgings at his home. And that’s how Claudio came in contact with Cattaneo’s 15-year old daughter Claudia!
Claudia was a court singer, and eventually a member of Duke Vincenz
