I know "ralph bashing" has become fairly popular over the last few years in this province. But as we sit here today, 1 month away from Ralphs last victory, his time is quickly coming to a close in this province, like it or not.

For all the good hes done here, many still believe he should no longer be in power, and that the small c conservatives should be voted out of office. Yet how can you possible complain about ralph and the job he has done with the economy, defict and unemployment. This province is thriving, and its not just beacuse we have oil. To some people surprise, this province wasnt always thriving as it is now, and the premier and his polices have a lot to do with our recent promiscuity. The fact is our high school level test scores rank amongst the highest in the nation, our health care system, far from perfect, has less waits due to the availibility of private services to those who wish to use them. This province has made postive steps forward ever term of the Klein reign, and I know will comtinue to do so the next 4 years.

You have to know that as soon as Ralph leaves, even though another conservative will be Premier(most likely) Ralph will begin to be more and more liked with each passing month. The old adage, "you dont miss a good thing until it is gone" will prove to be very true in the case of our Premier.
