Welcome to Ralph's World
Ralph Klein - 12th Premier of Alberta (1942 - Mar 29, 2013)

Welcome to Ralph's World

No other #alberta leader - in recent history - has been loved as much as Ralph Klein. Let's hear what others said about "Ralph":

"Everyone running for office should follow Ralph's Rules: Be yourself >>> Don't forget where you came from >>> Getting elected doesn't make you better than anybody else >>> The people who voted for you are at least as smart as you and probably smarter >>> And this is probably the hardest; Don't run away from the people that voted >>> And never run away from yourself." Rex Murphy (Canadian Commentator) - YouTube Video: Rex says farewell to Ralph https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I3ilsvnj_o

"I would probably describe him as a human being first and a politician second." - Don Braid (Calgary Herald Columnist) -?YouTube Video:?The Education of... Ralph Klein?????https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4beUIPCSuow

"We always said Ralph can walk from the Chamber of Commerce to the St. Louis Hotel and not only can he be comfortable in both settings ... the people he's meeting in both settings are comfortable with him being there. Not many people can do that." - Rod Love (Ralph's advisor, chief of staff, confidante, and friend) - YouTube Video:??Ralph Klein's legacy??https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOl9mUaE3-0

"We're very happy we could have someone on the ground who could understand our issues and that could be there with us and that could speak on our behalf on a number of levels." - Jason Goodstriker (former Blood Tribe councillor and chief and member of the Alberta government’s recent Fair Deal panel) - YouTube Video:??Ralph Klein's legacy?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOl9mUaE3-0

"He said what he would do and then he did what he said ..." - Former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper - YouTube Video: PM Harper remembers Ralph Klein https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTS6R0mLYvY

"The great thing about Ralph ... he was his own guy. And in an era when we feel so hamstrung, so careful, about what we say and how we say it, and how you guys are going to interpret it ... that he was an interesting ... and lovable guy." Dalton McGuinty (former #Ontario Premier) - YouTube Video:??Ralph Klein's legacy??https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOl9mUaE3-0

"What I really loved about Klein is that he did face some fierce criticism. He did face some severe opposition to some of the decisions he made, but he always enjoyed the support of the majority of Albertans. I think it was because he set out with a plan, said 'I'm going to do some tough things.' [And] He actually followed through on it. If he made some mistakes along the way, he admitted it and would change course. And those are very rare attributes in a politician. I think more politicians could learn from them." - Danielle Smith (Alberta's Newest Premier) - YouTube Video:??Ralph Klein's legacy??https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOl9mUaE3-0
