By Lethbridge Herald on May 21st, 2025
Editor, Re: “Carney travelling to Rome today, will be among world leaders at Pope’s inaugural mass,” May 16. The article states: “Carney is a devout Catholic…” This is a false statement. Marc Carney supports and advocates for abortion, euthanasia and same-sex marriage. The Catholic Church teaches, as everybody knows, against all of these. ... Read More »
9 responsesNDP supporters get all the airtime in the Herald
By Lethbridge Herald on May 21st, 2025
Editor, First of all, I find it strange that this submission by Mr. Phil Burpee got the time of day from the Lethbridge Herald. It would appear the Herald has no issue with publishing a misogynist maligning rant as long as its directed at the UCP. The rant even violates their own stated rules of ... Read More »

3 responsesSmith seems to be seeking royal position
By Lethbridge Herald on May 16th, 2025
Editor, In case there were any doubts Alberta’s Premier was a science-denying demagogue with designs on the throne of Alberta, Danielle Smith’s startling televised speech to the public buried those doubts like a tank of pumped fracking fluid. We can assume our own UCP representative, Nathan Neudorf, is firm in his backing of her quest ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on May 16th, 2025
Editor, There are the vast majority of people who are against the coal mine in the Crowsnest Pass who have no idea where the water is coming from nor do they know the small amount that is needed every year. There were two areas that had been dug down to create deep pits on the ... Read More »

2 responsesSmith doesn’t speak for the majority
By Lethbridge Herald on May 14th, 2025
Editor, I am feeling anxious about Premier Smith’s well-being. My concern is that she may be suffering from a peptic condition. The reason I say this is because every time she opens her mouth there seems to be nothing other than a spume of acrid bile coming out. At the very least I think a ... Read More »
