  We find the canonical formulation of the Poincare BFCG theory in terms of the
spatial 2-connection and its canonically conjugate momenta. We show that the
Poincare BFCG action is dynamically equivalent to the BF action for the
Poincare group and we find the canonical transformation relating the two. We
study the canonical quantization of the Poincare BFCG theory by passing to the
Poincare-connection basis. The quantization in the 2-connection basis can be
then achieved by performing a Fourier transform. We also briefly discuss how to
approach the problem of constructing a basis of spin-foam states, which are the
categorical generalization of the spin-network states from Loop Quantum
Gravity.
