Ralph Klein

Everybody got $100.

Ralph Klein, years ago in 20- in, uh, 2006, everybody got $400.

So this happens, right? Like, around election time.

Hmm.

Mordecai Richler just won the Giller Prize for Barney's version.

Ralph Klein just won his eighth majority government in Alberta.

I did some Wikipedia-ing.

But when you turn on the radio, you start to learn that a new phenomenon of music is starting to take over the world.

You could say for an entire generation, Alberta has disproportionately been in the news.

I mean, think way back to Ralph Klein and Preston Manning.

They both came out of Alberta.

Stephen Harper.

I thought you were going to say you had like a Doberman or a great dog.

Oh, his name's Ralph Klein.

Is the dog's name actually Ralph

Klein? No, it's not.

Mike Sokolowski and Steve Sir Banovich says their names should be part of every Labor Day.

We've also got an interesting note here from Jordan in our chat who says former Premier Ralph Klein was a notorious union buster.

He was reportedly pissed when he found out that Safeway cashiers were making 20 bucks an hour and then he looked to destroy that union.

There's been a lot of talk in Alberta about the provincial government and their take on teachers and whether or not that's a bit of a union busting tactic.

Ali B says the fact that people still believe in trickle down economics is astounding.

uh greg meantime not sold he says shareholders will never lose their value if in danger uh they will move on uh i mean i'm not sure about that there's plenty of shareholders that move on after losing a lot of value but maybe i'm missing your point greg alberta girl says the privatization of the grid has negatively impacted power costs and caused inflation uh ralph klein's legacy has been he broke us all Man, if King Ralph hears that, he might come back from the dead to correct it.

No disrespect intended.

You remember, that was Ralph Klein's big thing, right? Paying off the debt.

Paid in full.

You remember the sign black and white holding it above his head? Obviously, he did it with some pretty difficult and, people would argue, devastating decisions that impacted education, healthcare in particular for decades to come.
