Ralph's World
Welcome to this installment of the "Wacky Adventures of Ralph". First off, Ralph Klein was in Washington last week and took his opportunity on the world's largest stage to... call Mackenzie King a pervert. Yes, sometimes you can't make these things up. Mackenzie King was certainly weird, but a pervert?
Ralph is also upset over the recent Senate appointments. Here's his quote on it:
"For God's sake, find a way to appoint Bert (Brown). The reason I say Bert as opposed to the other three (elected senators) is that he was the first elected. He deserves it."
Now, here's a question: Why did we spend millions on Senate elections in Alberta if Bert Brown qualifies ahead of the individuals who "won" the election?
Oh, Ralph. How I'll miss you when you're gone.

Since we're talking provincial politics, here's a very positive article that appeared in the Edmonton Sun over the weekend on the momentum of the Alberta Liberal Party under Kevin Taft:

This is great. Under Nicol, the media largely ignored us. Taft has really given the party a shot in the arm and a renewed sense of credibility. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of a rural strategy will be discussed at the May convention.

i think Klein named Bert Brown because he couldn't remember the names of the other 'Senators-elect.'
Can you?

My guess is that Ralph suggests Bert Brown because he "came in first" in the Senate elections back in November.
Here, for your review, are the results:
Bert Brown: 312,041
Betty Unger: 311,964
Cliff Breitkreuz: 241,306
Link Byfield: 238,751
Gee, maybe THAT's why Ralph suggests Bert Brown.

Blueprint: welcome to Alberta. Home of other, previous, Senate elections. Also featuring Bert Brown. I also seem to remember him and 3 big E's in a field once upon a time. I don't think the 1,000 odd votes he had on Unger tipped the scales in Ralph's mind. 15-odd years of history, maybe. And d'you think Ralph and Paul had a talk about that, Bert in particular, back when Ralph was saying nice things about Paul in '02?
As to Klein's comments, a. they're pretty crass, b. they're indicative of why he keeps winning, and c. the paper really had to dig deep to get that historian quote to justify the headline of "wrong PM was pervert." The average Albertan is going to agree with Klein that a guy who ostensibly frequented prostitutes AND had a homosexual relationship (ahem, not that there's anything wrong with that) is a pervert. And the average Albertan is going to vote for Klein for saying things that sound like common sense, particularly when contrasted with a pointy-headed professor who digs up a 1893 Catholic trivia tidbit.
And, as to why we spent the millions on the Senate elections? 'Cuz Bert can't sit in four seats at the same time. And d'you think *Ralph* is going to let the spit-in-Ottawa's-eye, finger-to-the-east Senate elections die on his watch right before he retires? Hell no. Let Jim do that.

I get really upset when I go to the polls to vote, and I am presented with some junk ballots for an election that is illegal and ultra vires.
Is there no way one can go to Court and shut this charade down completely and save Alberta taxpayers this money? A couple of million dollars is much more wisely spent on programs required by the public, then in poking Ottawa in the eye with something as dumb as this straw vote.
