Ralph Klein to finally get Order of Canada
- Thread starter Durry
- Start date
He fingered Salmon Arm,last time I looked that was in Canada.
Finger one,finger all,nice try at uniting the country,steal the wests oil for the east and **** anyone east of ontario.
Pierre never thought of westerners as Canadians except when it came to cash for the east.
Nice try Gerry,your hero was a waste of skin in the west.
That's also probably why Albertans embraced Ralph,he had balls and would'nt take any ****e,Albertans were looking for someone who could stand up to the next Trudeau.
Ralph had the balls.

I guess when it comes to people like Pierre and Ralph, they are both very polarized subjects, personally I think Ralph was worth ten of the other a$$hole and you probably think similar, but we have to allow others to have their opinions as wrong as they are! :lol:
The Trudeau salute was the downfall of any support he had in the west.He was very well liked here in Alberta back in the pre finger day,the lions club even put on a huge bbq for him when he flew in on the chopper to our little town back in the 70's.
Then we got the NEP,another finger to the west.
Major rapeage of everything we had accomplished as far as exploration.
The guy was an asshole,he should have stayed with his buddy Castro in cuba.
That's how it was reported at the time. At least in Regina, SK. Perception is everything in politics. Maybe you Albertans being closer to the finger have a different perspective.
A finger to one Canadian is a finger to all,Were a huge country,best learn how to get along.
The finger just showed the contempt he had for the west.
Now the west is the economic engine driving the country.
Karma can be a bitch sometimes
Is Wikipedia not reliable? For the info I've gleaned from it I thought it was! :smile:
Wikipedia can be edited - with membership. That's not so bad if the entries are accurate, but not so great when they're not
If you want to have a discussion on the Dief. Pick out what you think is pertinent and factual from wikiality and post it. Simply just throwing a wikiality link in a post and expecting us to counter the whole link, is rather weak. It's tantamount to Gish Gallop.
Since you obviously missed this, I'll post it again for you, so you can attempt to not make the same mistakes again...

Not sure who you are replying to here, you brought up Wikipedia when I used it in a discussion of John A. MacDonald with Corduroy, I just used it to show to her there was a whole lot more to John A. than the two alleged failings she cited.
I think trying to suggest a truly good leader to anyone is a rather difficult task. What makes that leader good, to you, may not make them good to another.
I think Pearson was tops. He's always been my top pick as best PM. But that's because he accomplished things that I think he did for the betterment of Canada and the globe as a whole, throughout his political career.
Other completely disagree.
While my opinion of him as leader is based on the whole of his political career. Others feel that's an incorrect way of coming to my conclusions.
The whole process is subjective.
Well, that's just it. I think Pearson was a great diplomat, highly regarded on the world scene, but I don't recall him ruffling many feathers, so I didn't see him as a leader in the sense of Diefenbaker or Churchill. On the other hand, my impression is just another opinion as at that time of my life I was more into drinking beer and watching women more than the political scene. :lol:
Okay, if the finger to one is a finger to all, what does that say about the anti french protesters? Obviously, they were protesting against ALL Canadians, not just french.
Yes indeed, Walter. I'd like to offer a heartfelt apology to King Ralph. Sorry to hear of his illness.
Until today I only suspected he wasn't playing with a full deck. Now we know for sure.
Horrible news. Just horrible
