So the campaign, the independence campaign has been carrying on.

They've got to the point now where they're going to have a non-binding referenda.

And if that referenda goes, yeah, we should really go for it, then they're going to have a binding vote by the end of the year, which means for the first time ever, someone's going to try and slice themselves.

Well, Quebec's had a go, but that's different.

For the first time ever, someone's going to try and slice themselves off mainland Canada.

So that's one to watch as the rest of the year unfolds.

Budget week, of course.

You wonder sometimes, 23 minutes away from eight of sport after eight o'clock this morning, the Prime Minister's just decided to arrive.

Nice to see you.

Well, it's nice to get into your studio.

I got accosted on the way in by the hits, apparently.

And you took a hit on them.

Not calling them the, what did you call them?

The dragons of radio world.

The bunch of losers.

And now they've prepared this.

Apparently he's got you on their show.

Oh, for God's sake.

So I spent like five minutes getting past them, and that's why I'm here.

So I'm a bit breathless, but ready to go.
