BC a bunch of 's***heads'

The war of words between Alberta and B.C. has hit new lows.

Alberta cabinet minister, Deron Bilous, has apologized for a four-letter slur hurled at the B.C. government amid an ongoing battle over bitumen.

CTV reports Bilous, minister for economic development, with the Alberta NDP government told a crowd Wednesday that "B.C. is being a bunch of s***heads."

The remarks come after tense back and forth between B.C. and Alberta over the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline.

The trade war looked to be cooling off but tensions obviously continue to smolder. Bilous said Thursday that his frustration with B.C. politics led him to make the comment, but agreed that his words went too far.
