00:00:00.000 Lots of stories on the go at the moment, Corey, currently leading the site.
00:00:04.820 His reaction to Stephen Harper's endorsement last night of Pierre Polyev as his person to win the Conservative leadership race.
00:00:15.620 Jean Charest has replied with, well, you know, Prime Minister Harper has made a personal choice,
00:00:21.100 but even if you agree with him, you're still going to be welcome when I win the big prize.
00:00:27.020 So Conservatives win-win, we're united, is what Charest says.
00:00:32.620 There is a UCP poll out from Leger showing that Danielle Smith is currently in the lead with about 22%,
00:00:40.920 if I remember the numbers figure, if the figure is correctly, Brian Jeanne with 20% and...
00:00:49.740 Travis Taves.
00:00:50.420 Help me out here.
00:00:51.120 Travis Taves with 15%.
00:00:53.920 Everybody else might as well pack up their bags and go home.
00:00:58.020 They're like 2% or less.
00:01:01.920 238 or 338 Canada, a polling group, is predicting that the UCP will win the next election.
00:01:08.700 Says they've got enough seats for a majority victory, so that'll be interesting.
00:01:13.320 And you remember those egregious bills that came to light probably last month, I think it was, Corey,
00:01:20.040 when the Governor General and some friends went over to Dubai, and they were able to rack up a catering bill in the tens of thousands of dollars.
00:01:28.840 Well, the Air Force has basically pushed the Governor General underneath the bus today, saying that all the expenses were on her.
00:01:35.520 It was the Governor General who decided and what they were all going to have, so we got that and a few other stories up there already, Corey, this afternoon.
