Obviously you know something that not too many know at this time. Nothing in the media yet.

No link needed. I'm family. My fault should have just waited and let the media do its thing. Just needed a place to share and thought this was a good place to do so. Guess not.

I can find nothing that says Ralph has passed away. He is a great man who has done a lot for this province and the country as a whole. He is gravely ill and his eventual passing will be a great loss to many of us who knew him and care about him.

In this case a very sad day indeed.
Alberta can be proud to have known him. BBT, be even prouder to call somebody like that family.
Thanks for fighting for me Ralph.

RIP Mr. Klein.
He had taken on a very difficult job in the 90's and had to make some tough decisions. A true leader!

Rest in peace Ralph,
He'll be in the history books as a true leader who did what was best for Alberta and did not ride the media waves!

Its just breaking now.
The King is dead, long live the King!
It's too bad all politicians aren't like that guy, no BS, no pandering to special interest groups, minorities, the easily offended or the lunatic fringe. Called it like he saw it!

Never again in fact. Great mayor, wasnt around for his premiering but he got it right.
Not many politicians can claim cree as a second language.

Probably the last public figure to say it like it is. Heck with politically correct speech. Really sad to see him go.
Condolences to the family.
