KING RALPH The Political Life and Success of Ralph Klein

Ralph Klein is a remarkable figure in Canadian politics. The first Canadian politician to implement the deficit-slashing and tax-cutting agenda and the orchestrator of the most radical changes in the political life of Alberta, he is also a small-l liberal whose popularity remains unharmed by controversies, both political and personal. An elder statesman among Canada's provincial premiers, he remains a singular mix of unpretentious, blue collar sensibilities in the corridors of power, a man so popular that he can campaign on the strength of his first name alone.

Don Martin provides an exceptionally candid look at the rough-and-tumble television reporter who became Alberta's biggest political phenomenon. Hear excerpts from this investigative biography as it was recently published in the Calgary Herald. Tune in Monday October 14th at 3 pm Mountain time (5 pm Eastern time).
