Why does MLA Neudorf want to divide the Lethbridge ridings?
By Lethbridge Herald on September 16th, 2025
Editor, I wrote a letter to Mr. Neudorf in the spring of 2024, suggesting that maybe he and a few other Conservatives in the UCP bunch, get a little exercise and stroll across the legislative floor and join with Albertans to govern Alberta for Alberta. He personally told me he got a chuckle out of ... Read More »
16 responsesER team at CRH deserves praise for their excellent care
By Lethbridge Herald on September 16th, 2025
Editor, I’d like to thank the Chinook Regional Hospital for great E.R. service and great staff. I fell last Sunday, cut my hand which needed stitches. From the moment I walked into the Lethbridge ER bleeding, I was quickly assessed, treated with care and off to x-ray. Yes, I broke my wrist, which required a ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Lethbridge is long overdue for a municipal ward system
By Lethbridge Herald on September 12th, 2025
Editor, Wouldn’t it be nice when a person comes knocking asking for your vote in the upcoming election if they could say,\”Hi I’m campaigning for councillor for Ward 6, can I count on your support\?” rather than “Hi I’m campaigning for a seat on council, I’ll represent everybody but nobody, can I ask for your ...

16 responsesAlberta needs leaders who put people before politics
By Lethbridge Herald on September 11th, 2025
Editor, I am exhausted by the direction Premier Danielle Smith’s government has taken with recent policies targeting schools and students. The UCP’s decision to restrict school library materials and to bar trans girls from school sports teams is less about protecting children and more about political posturing. These are issues that affect a small number ... Read More »
9 responsesProvince seeks public feedback on nuclear energy
By Lethbridge Herald on September 9th, 2025
Editor, I want to address Scott Sakatch’s Aug. 27 opinion piece, “Nuclear power in the wrong hands isn’t an option” where he incorrectly says that Alberta faces regular rolling brownouts on an “aging grid” and wrongly suggested the Nuclear Energy Development Survey is for those who can’t speak to the advisory panel. Alberta has one ... Read More »
9 responsesNumerous downsides make nuclear a terrible option for energy

42 responsesPoilievre’s byelection win offered no lessons in democracy
By Lethbridge Herald on September 5th, 2025
Editor, What can we learn from Pierre Poilievre’s win in the Battle River-Crowfoot by-election? Not too much, despite all the speculation and verbiage by numerous media talking heads. Party members and all the major media have told us this is one of the safest seats in Canada. Voters would have voted the same for anyone ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on September 3rd, 2025
Editor: Here we go again, the premier, anti vaxxer in Chief of the 51st State of North Montana – oops, sorry I meant the Province of Alberta, the land of the fee and the brave – has decided that it is in the best interest of the citizens of Alberta that they should pay $100 ,for the ... Read More »
15 responsesAlberta’s government seems to be sorely lacking in compassion
By Lethbridge Herald on August 30th, 2025
Editor, Who among us would steal from their children’s piggy bank? Is this an act that makes us, or our children better or wiser? Is it our pride that makes us brag that we are the richest resource province; yet we pay the lowest minimum wage to our coworkers and children? Something is amiss in ... Read More »
