Re-invention of NDP will affect government for years to come
By Lethbridge Herald on May 2nd, 2025
Editor, This was the election of change for a number of reasons. The NDP collapsed, yet through a stroke of luck ended up holding the balance of power. The Bloc disavowed support for Canada as a country in the face of Trump’s threats. The Greens completed their retreat from Canadian politics, although Elizabeth May continues ... Read More »
6 responsesProtesting over the Eastern Slopes is not ‘eco-terrorism’
By Lethbridge Herald on April 30th, 2025
Editor, I am a regular participant, along with several other local constituents who peacefully protest at the lights in Claresholm. We are against the destruction of our Rocky Mountains shouldered by the Eastern Slopes, Alberta’s primary water shed.

By Lethbridge Herald on April 25th, 2025
Editor, In Lethbridge-East MLA Nathan Neudorf’s April 15 Herald column, he tries to blame a decade-old NDP government for the rising transmission costs on your power bill. If this sounds absurd, let me assure you: it is. Mr. Neudorf claims that the need for new transmission lines was caused by the NDP’s “coal phase-out and ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on April 11th, 2025
Editor, O Canada, what have we done to thee? At the all-candidates last evening, it dawned on me that something was missing; the evening began with the obligatory aboriginal land acknowledgement then proceeded directly into the meeting. We are not simply wandering strangers meeting on someone else’s land; we are Canadians – meeting in Canada ... Read More »
12 responsesHerald poll question misleading to readers
By Lethbridge Herald on April 11th, 2025
Editor, The Lethbridge Herald must be called to account for a recent poll that misleads the voting public, specifically the daily poll published in the online newspaper on April 9th.

6 responsesThis election is time to vote with our heads
By Lethbridge Herald on April 10th, 2025
Editor, As we grow ever closer to our federal election, the Liberals and Conservatives are feverishly making promises that may or may not be doable. We will never know until they try but these promises are made for all Canadians. And that is the point isn’t it “for all Canadians.” The Alberta and Saskatchewan governments ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on April 10th, 2025
Editor, Given the recent interest in the Herald with respect to driving habits in Lethbridge. How about a regular column in the paper perhaps in collaboration with Lethbridge Police, focusing in on certain common driving errors.

The ones who drive with no lights on; don’t know how to turn left from a single into a two lane road. Don’t indicate properly. Stop in the middle of a junction. There ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on March 21st, 2025
Editor, For the past two months all President Trump ever talked about is punishing Canada, Mexico and China over the 25 per cent tariffs.
