    — The Tories have basically treated oil and gas revenues as their own private slush fund. When they need votes, they buy them. The $1.3 billion in "Ralph Bucks" dished out in 2005 to Albertans in $400 cheques is only the latest example.

Named after Ralph Klein, who was premier of Alberta when the payment was issued.
