Let Montana know you feel unwelcome
By Lethbridge Herald on March 7th, 2025
Editor, I just sent an email to the mayor and nouncil of Kalispell Montana as well as one of the senators of the state. I basically stated that after years of vacationing in Montana, a place where I felt like a neighbour, Trump’s statements made me realize that they don’t care about us and I ... Read More »
10 responses‘Self-regulated’ is a rigged game for AER
By Lethbridge Herald on March 7th, 2025
Editor, Because of possibility that the Alberta Energy Regulator may allow a foreign company to open a mine on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, home of headwaters that flow across Canada to the Hudson Bay.

3 responsesAlbertans can’t afford Nathan Neudorf
By Lethbridge Herald on March 6th, 2025
Editor, Like many southern Albertans, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read MLA Nathan Neudorf’s remarks to the Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce in the Lethbridge Herald (Jan.30, 2025). Did he really say: “so do you want to choose coal mining with higher than ever regulatory thresholds for any environmental infrastructure’s or do people want ... Read More »
19 responsesWho benefitted from Trump’s botched meeting with Zelenskyy?
By Lethbridge Herald on March 6th, 2025
Editor, It is difficult to understand what the intended outcome was in the clearly staged White house meeting with President Zelensky last week. Because it was so public, it was meant for someone\’s eyes. The tone and content of the meeting make it very unlikely that an international audience was the intended target. It’s also ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on March 6th, 2025

6 responsesCutting taxes should be city’s top priority
By Lethbridge Herald on March 5th, 2025
Editor, Our house assessment went up $53,000 in just two years with no additions. Get real, Lethbridge, you money grubbing shysters! The house is decaying under my feet and needs new furnace/air conditioner. The roof has so many years on it that insurance gives you nothing for hail damage. Neighbouring houses have turned into multi ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!Smith needs a lesson on the Constitution
By Lethbridge Herald on March 4th, 2025
Editor, Our premier appears to be conceptually challenged when it comes to the location of sovereignty in Canada (as recent letters by the Crisfields and Peter Haney have made clear). Because the Constitution of 1982 and the British North America Act of 1867 before it were so laden with language distributing legislative powers and authority ... Read More »
20 responsesTrump told Americans what he would do before the election
By Lethbridge Herald on March 4th, 2025
Editor, Americans are accusing President Trump of betrayal when they only have themselves to blame. Millions of misguided Americans believed that Trump, despite all the warnings, would bring down prices and create good jobs. Were Americans really listening? Trump told them what he would do, he told them what he was like, yet millions of ... Read More »
