Ontario Man Get Alberta Prosperity Cheque

The Alberta government started mailing out millions of the $400 cheques last week to every man, woman and child in Alberta. Dubbed Ralphbucks after Premier Ralph Klein, the $1.4 billion is Albertans' share of the revenue the province has been raking in from record-high oil and natural gas prices. To qualify for a cheque, people are supposed to be an Alberta resident and have filed a tax return in the province last year. Ryan Cromb, a spokesman for Alberta Finance, said he couldn't verify Clegg's claim as he had just found out about it. He said that since Revenue Canada had been enlisted to identify the people that should be getting cheques, he said the agency would likely be reviewing their files. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&pubid=968163964505&cid=1138834252192&col=968705899037&call_page=TS_News&call_pageid=968332188492&call_pagepath=News/News
