it's enough to make you ralph

ralph Audio pronunciation of "ralph" Pronunciation Key (rlf)
intr.v. Slang ralphed, ralph·ing, ralphs

()
  1. To vomit: to eject part or all of the contents of the stomach through the mouth, usually in a series of involuntary spasmic movements.
  2. To be discharged forcefully and abundantly; spew or gush: The dike burst, and the floodwaters vomited forth.
  3. The first name of Alberta's premier, Ralph Klein

I don't know that it's possible to condense more meaning than that:

I felt like ejecting part or all of the contents of my stomach through my mouth in an involuntary spasmic movment when I heard that
Ralph Klein burst the dike of oilsands development (if ever there was one), rejecting all environmental concerns, effectively allowing the floodwaters of oilsands development to spew and vomit forth.

That's a rambling excerpt from the 21st century Bible. A beautiful image of economic power and wealthy greatness that
The Pembina Institute and the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society
just don't seem to understand. Well you bunch of left-leaning ogranismic business-haters, let me tell you: lifey things aren't business. It's just that simple.

So I agree with Klein - "The Pembina Institute should keep their noses out of anyone's business, especially businesses that want to take risks," he said.

Exactly. You don't want to take oily risks, you keep your nose to your flaky floral and faunetic uselessness.


That's so cool. Klein's like, sticking it to the man from his ivory tower! "To have a long-range plan would be an interventionist kind of policy which says you either allow them or you don't allow them [to proceed]. The last thing we want to be is an interventionist government."

Duh. If government did something outside private interests, it would be
inefficient for business. And the earth isn't a very profitable business. The earth's stock has been tumbling on the universal stock exchange since it developed language for humans.

Besides, Klein already made economic and social requirements for the oilsands to meet. And the oliers - the real ones - meet them. Biologists simply don't know how to extract oil any more than they know how to make requirements. That's for legislators.

And when you have legislators from places like Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina telling you that economic development is good for the environment, then you know you're right. So, no worries. It's okay, everything's fine.
