Back in 2005, every Albertan received a $400 windfall cheque from government oil revenue, nicknamed Ralph Bucks after Premier Ralph Klein.

4 years ago today the @RoyalAlberta Museum celebrated its grand opening at the new downtown location.

Lots has changed - we had a different mayor, premier, lieutenant governor, governor general, and monarch. Last week, RAM also announced they will be returning the Manitou Stone.

[Paula Simons @Paulatics]

The announcement today of an agreement to return the Manitou Asinîy is a powerfully symbolic act. The ⁦@RoyalAlberta⁩ has done its best to be a respectful custodian, especially in the new site. But this repatriation is the right thing. #yeg #ableg https://t.co/2HMRwK7ZWx
