The Klein years were the result of the free spending Getty years. Sometimes the pendulum has to swing a little further to the right in order to counteract all the time it spent stuck on the left.
I think the province benefited enormously from having Ralph as its premier. I wish we had another one like him. I loved the man. He called a spade a spade and was humble enough to admit when he was wrong.
