Klein announces flood aid with a "nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!"
Edmonton (LHJ) Ralph Klein, premier of Alberta announced another $100 Million in aid to people stricken by Alberta's worst flood on record. The extra funds, he explained "would cripple the budgets of most provinces, but are basically petty cash to us here in Alberta."

"Alberta," Klein explained "is truly blessed by our amazing wealth and productivity, and so we are extending some of that wealth in the form of assistance to striken Albertans." Klein continued "Right now I'm sure that waterlogged Albertans are thanking their lucky stars they don't live somewhere like Ontario, or God help them, New Brunswick, where this magnanamous an aid package would be unthinkable."

Klein continued by expressing his grattitude that he did not have to go "hat in hand to the vultures in Ottawa" to get assistance for flood relief.

When Klein's statements were questioned by a Globe and Mail reporter as being "perhaps a little ungracious", Klein responded by saying "That's just a typical Canadian attitude toward's Alberta's tremendous prosperity. Take take take."

Klein closed the press conference with a hearty "Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah...right Dalton?"

The flood clean up continues.
