The King is Dead, Long Live the King (or Alana DeLong)

Ralph makes what I believe is his sixth resignation announcement.

And the race begins! CTV profiles the nine candidates in the race.

  • Ralph Klein takes longer to go into "that good night" than any actor I've ever seen in any movie. It's like 'Groundhog's Day' over and over again with this stuff..

    does this mean Ralph is REALLLLLLLLy gone now? He can drink and make fun of the homeless fulltime now?

  • To the Conservatives and old Reformers who are reading this:

    It's time to rally around a principled conservative and democratic reformer to ensure that our shared values make thier way into the Premier's office and public policy.

    Ted Morton is our man.

    Take a minute to call or email his campaign right now and get involved.

    Not everyone can quit an important job as effortlessly as Frank McKenna. But I do agree that Albertans should look at other parties.

  • You say principled conservative... I say rabid lunatic bigot obsessed with homosexuality.

  • i wonder if there was some stuff that went on behind the scenes to extract the resg. letter by this week. the calgary herald ran a story saying there were threats made to get him to leave. the allegation was that the party was going to yank all the feel good theatrics they have planned for after the leadership race.

  • I would disagree with Peter Lougheed being one of the worst premiers, if anything he was one of the best. I don't see what was wrong of standing up to Trudeau on the National Energy Program. I would argue Harry Strom and EC Manning were the worst ones. As for Ralph Klein, he was best in his early years when he turned things around, but I think overstayed his welcome. He should have left in 2003 when at the top of his game and let someone else take over.

    As for Ted Morton, Good God. This guy is about as right wing as one can get. If Alberta is stupid enough to elect this guy, they would become the laughingstock of Canada. Ralph Klein may be hated by the left, but Ontario did elect Mike Harris who was even more conservative, whereas no province has ever elected someone as right wing as Ted Morton.
