Who does MP Thomas represent in Ottawa?
By Lethbridge Herald on June 11th, 2025
Editor, I was interested to see the From the Hill article by Conservative MP for Lethbridge Rachel Thomas on Saturday June 5 entitled “Conservatives Stand for Canadians and their Priorities” outlining her ideological position. There is nothing wrong with having an ideological position, of course, but I am most curious about the concluding lines, “…we ... Read More »
7 responsesHousing developments are using up valuable agricultural land
By Lethbridge Herald on June 11th, 2025
Editor, Re: Housing is more unaffordable than ever, Herald, May 22. Around the world, urban populations have skyrocketed. In most European countries, strict land-use regulations are critical to limit urban sprawl and to protect land used for food production. Anyone driving from Lethbridge to both Coaldale and Calgary will see an explosion of acreages with huge single ... Read More »
1 responseSmith needs to change policies if she wants to regain support
By Lethbridge Herald on June 7th, 2025
Editor, Danielle Smith, I never voted for your predecessor as he was a poor choice for me as an MLA. I decided to vote for you as you presented a ray of light in the party. It did not take long for my hopes to be dashed by you and your policies. You seem to ... Read More »
7 responsesConservative values were heard loud and clear in election campaign
By Lethbridge Herald on June 7th, 2025
Editor, I am both appalled and amused that the Lethbridge Herald would reprint an essay from the C2C Journal. I guess Brock Eldon is not as cancelled as he would like to believe. With all due respect, Mr. Eldon, you have been out of the country and may be out of touch. The Conservatives lost, ... Read More »
4 responsesCompetition and greed aren’t solving the world’s problems
By Lethbridge Herald on June 4th, 2025
Editor, Does anyone else feel there is too much violence and competition about money on television programs? Solutions to problems seem mostly to be solved by shoot-outs, fist fights or violence. Is it the way television executives see our society? Now it seems to be the way the world sees America. Television was sold to ... Read More »
3 responsesChoose science over hysteria and false promises
By Lethbridge Herald on June 4th, 2025
Editor, A Crowsnest Pass Herald editorial was used to convey surprise that protesters opposed to the Alberta Energy Regulator’s recent approval of further Grassy Mountain coal exploration would choose to protest in Crowsnest Pass as they did in mid-May. Could it be that the location was selected because it’s just a stone’s throw from Northback ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on June 4th, 2025
Editor, Since our “commoners” letters regarding the foreign interest of Northback mining coal in our beautiful province to Ms. Smith and her provincial assistants and the Alberta Energy Regulator fall on deaf ears (with an automatic form letter starting out with “good day” no less), I wonder if writing now to Julie Dabrusin, Prime Minister ...

3 responsesPronouns in elementary school confusing for kids
By Lethbridge Herald on June 4th, 2025
Editor, This is not meant to be hateful or to spark debate. I want to be clear: while gender ideology is a hot topic in Lethbridge right now, recognize that I am talking about children in elementary schools. I have children coming up on school age and upon registering them for kindergarten in the Lethbridge ... Read More »

8 responsesPush back on library controversy
By Lethbridge Herald on May 31st, 2025
Editor, Alberta’s Minister of Education, Demetrios Nicolaides, has heard from concerned parents about supposedly naughty books on school library shelves, and now he\’s determined to do something about it. While he claims that this isn’t a book ban (he claims the ministry can’t ban books), he seems to be preparing the ground for just that. ... Read More »
14 responsesCanada’s strength lies in remaining united as a nation
By Lethbridge Herald on May 30th, 2025
Editor, As a proud Canadian, I truly believe that our identity is all about coming together as a nation, prioritizing Canada over any provincial loyalties. I cannot, nor will I ever, support a small group that pushes for division and conflict, trying to deliberately create divides within our province based on misguided principles and selfish ...
