Ralph Klein says he may be sick, but it’s far too early to start writing his obituary.
Klein was diagnosed with emphysema a little over a year ago after smoking for most of his life.
The former premier and Calgary mayor says he speaks a little slower now and his memory is suffering a little, but he’s otherwise fine.
He says his wife, Colleen, is a lot more worried about his illness than he is.
As for the smoking that led to him getting sick, he tells The Calgary Herald that kids will start smoking only if they’re stupid.
