During an interview with Toronto radio station Newtalk 1010 earlier this week, Kevin O’Leary, a former CBC-TV Dragons Den member, expressed concerns over Rachel Notley’s NDP government.
During the interview O’Leary stated that he’d invest $1 million in Canadian energy companies, if the Alberta premier resigns from office.
“She’s gotta go,” he said.
Rachel Notley’s response to the comment in a news conference was simple, “bring it on”. She says that the last time businessmen spoke against her she became premier.
Here are what some people on twitter are saying:
RETWEET if you think Kevin O’Leary needs to start reviewing his “knee-jerk” investment offers & calls for government resignations #ableg 😉

Bettman knows what’s best for Calgary and Kevin O’Leary will invest $1M if Notley steps down. I see that yesterday was a big day for idiots. — Ryan Batty (@ryan_batty) January 12, 2016
Kevin O’ Leary offers $1 million to Cdn oil if Notley resigns. Also promises to create sharks with lasers on their heads. #cdnpoli

But, O’Leary might not be alone as some Albertans are calling for a “kudatah”, or an over throwing the government, on Reddit and Twitter.
Alberta’s progressives are, dare I say it….striking back. #kudatah — Jen Gerson (@jengerson) January 12, 2016
