Albertan by birth, Canadian always
By Lethbridge Herald on May 13th, 2025
Editor, Open letter to Danielle Smith. It has come to my attention through double talk about only doing what Albertans want, you have lowered the threshold for referendums in Alberta. I believe you should read Jean Chretienâs book âStraight from the Heart.â He concludes his book by stating, âI feel strongly that we did not ...

19 responsesPremier talks about âhostile actsâ but not those of her own government
By Lethbridge Herald on May 13th, 2025
Editor, An open letter to Premier Smith Mark Carney has just been newly elected as Canadaâs prime minister. Apparently, Premier Smith is already warning him about hostile acts she believes he could enact against Alberta. What are hostile acts? In the consideration of brevity, I will not some of the threats to Albert that can ... Read More »

1 responseHow do we garner respect without showing it in return?
By Lethbridge Herald on May 9th, 2025
Editor, So, here we are post federal election and the âdreadedâ Liberals have been elected for a 4th term. I say âdreadedâ jokingly because I voted Liberal. Those who voted Conservative in our province are disappointed and our premier is demanding respect from the Liberal government or else. But how do we garner respect when ... Read More »

4 responsesPremier should focus on what Albertansâ needs, not UCP wants
By Lethbridge Herald on May 9th, 2025
Editor, I have been talking with fellow citizens, and we are concerned about how the Premier is leading Alberta. First, she destroyed the Health Care system by authorizing unprofessional doctors; now she wants to separate the province from the country. She has her war against the Liberals, but she must understand that Alberta belongs to ...

Be the first to comment!Premier Smithâs comments either ignorant or dishonest
By Lethbridge Herald on May 9th, 2025
Editor, Congratulations to Danielle Smith for single-handedly embarrassing the entire province of Alberta in just one 20-minute speech. Itâs actually quite impressive how much misinformation, nationalistic pandering, and historical revisionism she managed to cram into such a short timeframe. Those 20 minutes were not just misleading they were an insult to the intelligence of anyone ... Read More »
12 responsesAnti-vaxxer crowd should be careful what they wish for
By Lethbridge Herald on May 8th, 2025
Editor, Along with many others, I remember the Convoy shutdowns when trucks with giant Canadian flags sticking out the backs of their boxes roared en masse up and down University Drive and Scenic Drive, shutting down various streets and roads. They were protesting vaccine requirements. Meanwhile, every year millions of people in third world countries die ...

13 responsesPremier is off-base on net zero claims
By Lethbridge Herald on May 8th, 2025
Editor, Premier Danielle Smith says that the federal net zero regulations on electricity production set a carbon emissions limit that is completely unattainable, and would make Albertaâs electricity system more expensive and âmore than 100 times less reliable.â (Lethbridge Herald, May 3) Nothing could be further from the truth. The Pembina Institute, a respected environmental ... Read More »
11 responsesWe saw the essence of Poilievre in this election
By Lethbridge Herald on May 7th, 2025
Editor, Re âOne moment captured Poilievreâs fatal weaknessâ (May 1, 2020): I agree with Dan OâDonnellâs assessment that Poilievreâs apple-munching interview in which he behaved rudely and dismissively toward a reporter was a defining moment. When I saw the news report I immediately thought if Poilievre sticks with that behaviour and approach, it wouldnât bode ... Read More »
