I know "ralph bashing" has become fairly popular over the last few years in this province.

Really? All I ever hear are the good things about him. Weird.
I actually like Klein and think he has done a pretty good job. He is in a position where it would be hard to fail, but at the same time, has done well. Alberta is blessed with valuable resources, and the major population centres have avoided the gathering of destitute people (unlike Toronto and Vancouver), and resource depletion (like in the east) - making social spending not a huge priority for the province. A conservative government can succeed in these situations easier. At the same time, Klein has spent a lot in infrastructure.
So what are Kleins negative points? Like I said, since I moved here from BC, I have not heard anything really bad about the guy. There must be something. The only thing I can think of is when he was drunk and threw money at the homeless (which was stupid).
