We used to have bumper stickers that said "Let those eastern bastards freeze in the dark". Funny to mention this on an article referencing the PET.

  That was former AB PM Ralph Klein's infamous quote.

    It wasn't. Those were bumper stickers in the 80s referencing the National Energy Program. Very in line with the "What does Petro-Canada stand for?" - Pierre Elliot Trudeau Rips Off Canada.

      Point conceded, although I hasten to add Ralph's infamous "Eastern bums and creeps" quote to the mix. Another Alberta bumper sticker from the early 1980s foreclosure era said something like: ''Please, God, let there be another oil boom and this time I won't blow all my money away!"

        He had a lot of good ones. He's got a funny history, could have easily been the liberal leader in Alberta.
