00:00:00.000 Premier of the Yukon, I'm very excited to meet you.
00:00:02.000 Big fan of yours.
00:00:03.000 I know you're not just the Premier of the Yukon,
00:00:05.000 you're also the Minister of Tourism and Culture,
00:00:07.000 you're the Minister of Economic Development,
00:00:09.000 Minister of the Lick Corporation,
00:00:11.000 Minister of the Lottery Commission, 0.69
00:00:12.000 you're basically the whole friggin' Yukon government.
00:00:14.000 How do you feel about the Atlantic-Canadian
00:00:16.000 home heating oil carve-out?
00:00:18.000 I'm a little pissed.
00:00:19.000 Why?
00:00:20.000 It'd be nice to get a phone call before it all rolled out.
00:00:23.000 The Prime Minister didn't call you?
00:00:25.000 No phone call.
00:00:26.000 Justin, call the Premier of the Yukon!
00:00:29.000 The number's flashing on the screen.
00:00:31.000 Oh, no!
00:00:32.000 Who should I talk to to get this straightened out?
00:00:35.000 Probably the most powerful Premier in Atlantic Canada.
00:00:38.000 Who's that?
00:00:39.000 Daniel Smith.
00:00:40.000 Alberta.
00:00:42.000 Thank you, sir.
00:00:44.000 Oh, my God, Daniel Smith, Premier of Alberta.
00:00:46.000 This is very exciting for me.
00:00:47.000 As a Newfoundlander,
00:00:48.000 being the Premier of Alberta
00:00:49.000 is kind of like meeting the Wizard of Oz,
00:00:50.000 because there's no problem in Atlantic Canada,
00:00:52.000 it can't be fixed by moving to Alberta.
00:00:55.000 And, you know, as a comedian,
00:00:56.000 you're kind of my favourite Premier,
00:00:57.000 because sometimes you do kind of crazy stuff,
00:00:59.000 whether it's blowing up the CPP
00:01:01.000 or talking about Alberta's sovereignty.
00:01:03.000 If you were to separate,
00:01:04.000 what would be on the flag?
00:01:05.000 Would it be the Wild Rose
00:01:06.000 or would it just be one of those F Trudeau flags?
00:01:08.000 Anyway, if you could ask Justin Trudeau
00:01:10.000 for one thing and actually get it,
00:01:12.000 Premier, what would it be?
00:01:14.000 Well, he should stay out of Alberta's business
00:01:16.000 and stick to federal jurisdiction.
00:01:18.000 I think that's what the Supreme Court said
00:01:19.000 and that's what I'd love.
00:01:20.000 Can't do that.
00:01:23.000 But what I can do is this.
00:01:25.000 I can give you this heat pump.
00:01:27.000 We'll give them out all over here in Atlantic Canada
00:01:29.000 and I think if you accept this,
00:01:31.000 then it'll be even-steven.
00:01:32.000 What do you say?
00:01:33.000 They don't work in Alberta.
00:01:34.000 We get below minus 25.
00:01:36.000 I don't think they're actually going to work.
00:01:39.000 It's from the Liberal government.
00:01:40.000 It's not going to work.
00:01:41.000 It's not going to work.
