“I am truly saddened by our loss of Ralph Klein.”
“Ralph Klein’s ability to connect with Albertans from all walks of life was absolutely remarkable. He could walk from the Petroleum Club in downtown Calgary to the curling rink in St. Paul and carry on a conversation with absolutely everyone he met. Ralph was a real man of the people.”
“Ralph was a staunch defender of our province as he had a deep and abiding love for Alberta and Albertans. His vision and extraordinary political instincts provided Alberta with tremendous leadership for 14 years.”
“Condolence books will be set up in government buildings across the province where Albertans can pay tribute to former Premier Klein. In addition, an online tribute page will be available for Albertans to share their memories of Ralph. Details will be announced soon.”
“His passing is a loss to us all. On behalf of all my colleagues in the government caucus and my family, I want to offer my heartfelt condolences to his wife Colleen and their family during this very difficult time. He will be dearly missed.”

Premier Ralph Klein was a leader that said what he meant and meant what he said. His passing is the end of an era where one knew where politicians stood. Klein was one of those politicians. Whether a person liked him or not or whether one liked his policies or not at least he was a man for the people and while the leader of the ruling party of the day he did get Alberta out of debt and that is a wonderful legacy to leave for all Albertans. A debt free legacy that was meant for all Albertans from when he graced this earth. I am one Albertan that is extremely thankful for that Klein legacy of Paid in Full . I for one am also thankful that during the few few short years of Alberta being debt free the short lived Alberta Advantage was created. May Premier Ralph Klein rest in Peace now as people remember with thoughtfulness how his Dash was spent while he walked this wonderful earth.
