Letters to the Editor
We’re all in this together, except for the ones at the top
By Lethbridge Herald on October 24th, 2025
Editor, If buying Canadian results in continued high prices to pay CEOs of these companies tens of millions, it raises a concern: Are we buying Canadian so CEOs can keep their share price up and reward shareholders with dividends. or are we buying Canadian to ensure Canadian jobs? I find this a rather two-faced marketing ... Read More »
7 responsesAfter decades of singing, it’s time for new blood in church choir
By Lethbridge Herald on October 23rd, 2025
When Lydia and I arrived in Taber in 1982, we were delighted to join the St. Augustine’s choir when they asked us to do so. Joe, the choir director, knew his music that made it easier for us to blend in. After living in Taber for over a year, I was hired as a Power ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Access-A-Ride changes hurting regular users
By Lethbridge Herald on October 23rd, 2025
Editor, To say I am infuriated is an understatement. The previous transit manager shifted resources from the Access-A-Ride service to “on-demand” buses, effectively taking away dedicated handicap buses. As a result, we are now left with only one bus operating at night. Even when there were three buses running in the evenings, it was often ... Read More »
2 responsesThe Blue Jays embody every quality that Trump does not
By Lethbridge Herald on October 22nd, 2025
Editor, Now that the Blue Jays are headed to the World Series against the L.A. Dodgers, I wish to salute them. Their victory came about because of team management pulling the strings at the right time. The field manager John Schneider would build their confidence and not panic. He would put in or pull out players for ... Read More »
13 responsesMake no mistake, Danielle Smith’s end goal is sovereignty
By Lethbridge Herald on October 18th, 2025
Editor, I have been a fan of the popular reality show “Survivor” for many years. The participants are encouraged to “outwit, outlast and outplay” their opponents to win the million dollars. I can’t help thinking that Premier Smith is using the this same strategy in governing Alberta. She wants to outwit Albertans with her Alberta ... Read More »
11 responsesProvince is failing on vaccinations
By Lethbridge Herald on October 17th, 2025
Editor, Attention Premier Danielle Smith: I’ve worked in the oilfield, and am a proud conservative. I first voted for Premier Peter Lougheed, you may have heard of him. Were he alive today and in politics, he’s what you would refer to as a “Liberal” or “leftist”. Your mentor and American Idol Donald Trump received both ... Read More »
7 responsesSmith keeps Alberta from realizing its potential
By Lethbridge Herald on October 14th, 2025
Editor, Today is a good day to say a hard “NO” to Premier Smith regarding pipeline expansion. Her petulance and bullying are wearying. Talk of carbon capture doesn’t solve anything. When you sweep dust under the rug, it’s still there! We have so many sources of natural carbon capture from native grasslands and peatlands to ... Read More »
7 responsesCharging for seniors’ and children’s eye exams is age discrimination
By Lethbridge Herald on October 11th, 2025
Editor, I think it is reasonable for all Albertan to ask why the UCP feels justified in instituting age discriminatory surcharges on individual annual comprehensive eye exams for Seniors ($49.) and parents of children and youth ages 8-19 ($24.each individual)? Perhaps Lethbridge MLA Nathan Neudorf might provide a public response in the Herald explaining these ... Read More »
4 responsesWhy does everything have to follow a business model today?
By Lethbridge Herald on October 10th, 2025
Editor, Business analysts insist we must move to the digital economy. They always insist we move to what is new, the latest gadget, toy, idea, etc. Handwriting and drawing has thousands of years of history. What is needed is for business analysts to get out of their little boxes about what is good for an ... Read More »
8 responsesIt’s paradoxical for UCP to support gender equality
By Lethbridge Herald on October 9th, 2025
Editor, It was paradoxical to read Government of Alberta (GoA) Minister of Arts, Culture and Status of Women, Tanya Fir, issue a statement on Sept. 22, “in recognition of Gender Equality Week,” which read, in part, that: “…I want to thank the community groups, non-profits and volunteers for continuing to champion gender equality on every ...

2 responsesBoundary commission application amounts to gerrymandering
By Lethbridge Herald on October 8th, 2025
Editor So, two notable local politicians have made submissions to the Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission, our Lethbridge East MLA Nathan Neudorf and former Lethbridge West UCP candidate John Middleton-Hope. Both submissions are similar in that they seek to have Lethbridge carved up into three or four pieces, each of which are subsequently apportioned to surrounding ... Read More »
