Rempel pounds her podium and asks, “Why does this government treat Alberta like a fart in the room…that nobody wants to talk about or acknowledge?” This triggers the pearl clutching. May won’t even repeat the word she is objecting to and resorts to spelling it out.
After the vulgar campaign season we just endured this is kind of refreshing. And hilarious.
