Who said it did? Again, I am not saying Klein was a GREAT Premier. I am saying he wasn’t the unmitigated evil bastard he’s made out to be.
Part of what you’re fighting against is something you probably don’t know about - living in Alberta, we’re living with the Deification of Klein, and the convenient forgetting of what he actually did. No, he wasn’t the AntiChrist, but he wasn’t Saint Klein, either, which a whole lot of Albertans are forgetting or never knew.
Klien? He’s the guy who’s social conscience was so great that he gave one way tickets out of Alberta to welfare recipients.
To be fair, those were only given out to Eastern creeps and bums. 
Heh heh heh. (We’ll just forget about the part where we get snow and cold temps for the rest of the week.) I was out starting to clean out my beds in my yard today!
I wish I could have. I want to try to deal with them early (as early as I can) this year because it seems like I never get in there before the weeds start taking over and then it’s an endless fight to keep them from overtaking everything I want to grow.
My front bed is a complete disaster this season.
We can’t even *see *the flower beds yet - there’s still a foot of snow in my yard. Although it has gone down from the three feet that was there a month ago. And we can actually see to back out of the driveway now that the head-high piles along the side have melted back some.
Pretty annoying to have the warmest day of the year (yesterday) immediately followed up by driving to work in moderate flurries. :mad:
And here I was wondering why you were taking your beds outside to clean them. I was picturing some western Canadian ritual of dragging your mattresses outside in the spring and beating them with a stick or something. :smack:
It might cure a bedbug infestation…
No need – Klien died.
Well, the snow’s pretty much melted - that’s good. I can get back to work on my beds!
Aw, dammit. I knew I gloated too much. 
A surprising list of notables at former Premier Klein’s funeral - Prime Minister Harper, the Right Honourable Jean Chrétien, Premier Alison Redford, former Saskatchewan Premier Roy Romanow, former Ontario Premier Mike Harris, and of course, Mayor Naheed Nenshi. That’s an…interesting list. 
Cast of a new reality show? Every week they’re locked in a room till they can come to a unanimous agreement on a public policy issue.
Canoe Club BBQ tomorrow. Whoever gets there first has to shovel a way to the door. (And it won’t be me, for I’ll show up a little late, because I’ll be skiing – supposed to get a few centimeters today).
What, not Castro? He showed up for Trudeau’s funeral.
Klein wasn’t a communist.
Surely that is precisely the sort of list one would have expected.
Politicians don’t hold partisan grudges nearly as much as voters do.
