I don't get the "I miss Ralph" thing.
He stripped the public sector, privatized everything he could get his hands on, and basically mortgaged our infrastructure to help balance the budget. When he had more cash available in the budget, instead of using it to invest in the province he paid out a bunch of useless Ralph Bucks.
He threw change at the homeless and coined "shoot, shovel and shut up" though, which I guess made him endearing to some?
Not an attack on you TOTF, but Ralph did a lot of things that bent this province over long term. People gloss over that because he balanced the budget at $30 oil, and more importantly $5-$8 gas.
