Ralph Klein is among the few faces in politics, let alone Tories, that will be missed. He is retiring after, I think, 14 years as Alberta's premier.He is known for his blunt speeches and comments and for taking the people's side. When he came into office in 1992, Alberta had a debt of about $23 billion dollars, now they are the working capital of Canada. Their economy is blooming so fast that even the government was caught off guard. As for what concerns me, I can see the flow of provincial money into the universities and the great benefits the students receive.
And it wasn't just the Albertans who benefited, he had a great roll in showing other primers how they can stand up to Ottawa and do what is right for the people of their province ... his successor will have a difficult time stepping into his shoes ...
