00:00:00.000 Ms. Smith's gone after Mr. Gilboa again.
00:00:02.980 Yeah, like shooting ducks in a barrel, I think, here.
00:00:05.720 But you remember that meme?
00:00:07.240 I think it's Michael Jackson sitting there and he's just munching popcorn
00:00:10.420 and getting excited for the show.
00:00:12.000 That's what I'm like with these two.
00:00:13.880 I mean, they're just at each other's throats.
00:00:16.220 I started out with the week with Stephen Gilboa calling Saskatchewan Premier
00:00:21.380 Scott Immoral for not collecting the carbon tax.
00:00:25.480 So we, of course, ran a picture of Mr. Gilboa in his prison outfit.
00:00:30.000 This is him, I think, after he climbed the CN Tower and, you know,
00:00:34.180 caused all sorts of chaos there.
00:00:35.840 And he also climbed onto the roof of Ralph Klein's house while his wife,
00:00:40.300 Colleen, was there by herself, scaring the hell out of her.
00:00:43.580 So if anybody's calling anybody immoral, you better make sure that you've got
00:00:47.180 a clean record yourself.
00:00:50.360 Fast forward to the next day, Premier Smith puts out a statement saying
00:00:55.280 that Alberta strongly stands with Premier Scott Immoral in his fight
00:00:59.400 with the government.
00:01:00.320 But later on at a speech to the Calgary Rotary Club, where our Scott Poulser
00:01:05.980 was the only media in attendance, believe it or not, she came right out 0.68
00:01:09.500 and called, basically called Gilboa a lunatic.
00:01:14.120 So, I mean, the war of words between these two and Scott Mono, I guess,
00:01:19.580 is really quite incredible to see.
00:01:21.400 You don't normally see this kind of discourse on a federal, provincial level.
00:01:28.240 Smith has called for him to be removed from Cabinet.
00:01:30.760 We're not working with him anymore, Smith says.
00:01:34.560 Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau does nothing. 0.97
00:01:37.820 Did she actually say that he was a lunatic or had lunatic ideas? 0.99
00:01:42.520 Lunatic policies, I think, was, to me, that he's a lunatic. 1.00
00:01:46.900 If you contrive policies that are a lunatic, you're a lunatic. 1.00
00:01:51.020 Oh, yes, you would be. 1.00
00:01:51.660 You can hear.
00:01:51.960 Thank you.
00:01:51.980 Thank you.
00:01:52.000 Thank you.
