Sad to hear, best Premier this Province, and possibly all of Canada has ever had.

RIP

So sad. Thank goodness He's at peace now. Condolences to the Kleins and loved ones.

I would Love to be able to say thank you to him for making Calgary fun when he was Mayor and the guts he had as Premiere of Alberta.

My next Brew is in memory of you Ralph.

I really hope they use this photo in your eulogy, it perfectly sums up Ralph. No craps were given what anyone thought or who was offended. A rare trait for a politician. He spoke his mind, and followed his convictions.

Not to diminish Klein's legacy in any way, but I think Tommy Douglas may have been the greatest premier in the history of the country.

This almost felt like a mercy passing. My brother got to see him during his last public opening and he seemed to be completely different than the Klein we remembered discussing in school.

They don't build them like they used to...

Condolences to his family.

RIP Ralph. At least you don't have to watch these idiots erase everything you accomplished and take this province into the dumps anymore.

Thoughts and prayers are with his family. Loved his no-holds-barred attitude in the face of Liberal idiocy in the 90s.
