加拿大省长年终道苦衷


  艾尔伯塔省埃德蒙顿市:艾尔伯塔省省长拉尔夫·克莱因说,与先前当省环境
部长相比,当省长是件容易的事。他在当环保局长时,阿尔伯塔省正急于上马纸浆
厂和造纸厂。

  “那时我常常引得数千人抗议或集会”,他在年终专访中回忆道,“他们来到
我家,把棺材放在房前草坪上。他们还常常向我扔死鱼,泼脏水。当了省长就没这
种事了。”

  但对于57岁的克莱因来说,1999年并非一帆风顺,就所提议的消减所得税和建
议花掉当年预算余额的计划等问题,他要与政治派别中极左与极右派做斗争。他的
扩大盈利性医疗的计划也招致了捍卫加拿大全国医疗保健体系的人们的激烈批评。
对于所收到的那些表达愤怒的信件,省长长叹一声。这些信指控他阴谋建造一个为
有钱人服务的一流医疗体系,而为一般人则是廉价的医疗体系。

  EDMONTON, Alberta - Alberta provincial leader Ralph Klein 
said serving as premier has been a cinch compared with his 
previous political post as environment minister, in the days 
when Alberta was busy building pulp and paper mills.?

  “used to get thousands of people out to protests and 
rallies as environment minister],”he reminisced in a year-end 
interview.?“They?d come to my house, put coffins on my 
front lawn.  They used to throw dead fish at me, dirty 
water.  I' ve had none of that as premier.”?

  But 1999 has not exactly been smooth sailing for the 
57-year-old Klein.  The premier has battled forces at both 
ends of the political spectrum over proposed income tax cuts 
and plans to spend a current budget surplus.  His plan to 
expand for-profit health care has also drawn furious criticism 
from defenders of Canada?s national health care system. He 
bemoans the angry letters he gets, accusing him of  plotting 
to create a Cadillac health system for those who can pay 
extra and  a bargain-basement one for those who can't.
