00:00:03.400Kevin O'Leary, you'll remember him, businessman, former Conservative Party candidate for leadership,
00:00:12.280is throwing his support behind Jean Charest this morning.
00:00:15.240He says Jean Charest is the only one who can get the Conservatives into power.
00:00:20.820He says Paulia is very popular amongst Conservatives, but the polls all show that he cannot win a general election.
00:00:27.980The Finnish Prime Minister, again, getting involved in a bit of a scandal.
00:00:33.800You'll remember last week where videos of her surfaced, partying hardy, dancing away at a friend's house.
00:00:42.400Well, now pictures have emerged of topless women who were invited to a party at the Prime Minister's official residence.
00:00:49.760And the Prime Minister has apologized again for her so-called indiscretions.
00:00:56.480We've got an interesting column from our military analyst, Dave Makachuk, who talks about China and its growing military superiority.
00:01:06.560And what would happen if push comes to shove and the West has to fight back against China?
00:01:14.400The Alberta Prosperity Project is fighting back against UCP leadership candidate Lila Ahir.
00:01:24.880She pulled out of the APP Rebel News debate, claiming that it was nothing but right-wing propaganda and responsible for the toxic attitude in Alberta.
00:01:38.260Well, the APP is fired back, saying utterly ridiculous, and she has offended hundreds and thousands of Albertans with her comment.
