Sugar Daddy Klein

Subject: Sugar Daddy Klein

In the typical small mindedness of the Calgary Sun's editorial writer,

 

Why does Ralph Klein's idea of creating scholarships across Canada raise troubling questions?

 

I would think it raises the idea that Albertans are Canadians, that realize that we must work to make sure Canada stays strong.

 

It shows Canada, that we know that our wealth depends on luck, and the fact that most of the income we realize from our natural resources comes from other Canadians, or people from around the world buying our resources.

 

Maybe the Sun can tell us who helped keep Alberta afloat, before we discovered the treasure beneath our farm land?

 

Maybe the Sun could tell us, if they don't like the way we share our wealth with Canada, how they would see us participate in this country called Canada.

 

We are lucky to be sitting on top of the oil.

 

We are also lucky we have the rest of Canada, from which to draw the workers we have in the oil field helping to bring that oil and gas to market.

 

Maybe the scholarships will help Alberta in the long run with educated Canadians to draw to our province to continue our fortunate situation long in the future.

 

Or we could succumb to the small mindedness of the Sun and keep all of the marbles to ourselves.

 

Thank you
