Neudorf ‘s lack of engagement with constituents is unacceptable
By Lethbridge Herald on December 6th, 2025
Editor, I am writing to express my strong concern regarding the recent recall efforts targeting five UPC caucus members, which I believe are entirely justifiable. My own experience with our MLA, Nathan Neudorf, mirrors the frustrations voiced by the petitioners. I recently contacted Mr. Neudorf’s office regarding an important community issue and, disappointingly, received no ... Read More »
1 responseRecall efforts are a ‘nuclear option’ that smack of desperation by NDP
By Lethbridge Herald on December 6th, 2025
Editor, Did Ryan Tanner (Nov. 26) ever attempt to contact Nathan Neudorf’s constituency office, or visit in person, before filing a recall petition? I myself made a point of visiting to ask. I was told Ryan Tanner’s name is not recognized. As far as they know, he had not been in touch, and did not ... Read More »
1 responseHow the premier stole Albertans’ Charter rights
By Lethbridge Herald on December 3rd, 2025
Editor, Every Albertan in Alberta liked the Charter a lot, But our Premier in Edmonton—well, she did NOT! She HATED the Charter, all those freedoms and rights, Though no one knows why—maybe her shoes were too tight? Chances are (and this reason is most likely of all), Her problem was her own heart, which was ... Read More »
7 responsesWe have to address the doctor shortage to improve access
By Lethbridge Herald on November 28th, 2025
Editor, A recent letter published in the Herald claimed the UCP government was “destroying our public health car system”, that medical professionals were being lured to “unneeded” and “unwanted” private health care facilities, and that perhaps a solution is to “lay down in front of bulldozers trying to build more private health care facilities at ...

16 responsesBoundary changes were about democracy, not politics
By Lethbridge Herald on November 26th, 2025
Editor: As the Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission consulted on the design of new ridings for the next provincial election, they clearly heard a diversity of views about Lethbridge ridings. At one end of this range of perspectives are those who feel strongly that the existing boundaries should be preserved. That’s fair; what isn’t legitimate, though, ... Read More »
7 responsesWill the province actually hire new teachers and EAs?
By Lethbridge Herald on November 25th, 2025
Editor, So Smith has already broken her pledge to hire 3,000 more teachers and 1,500 EAs. Here is a statement from the government’s own press release: ”Over the next three years, school boards will be provided with funding to hire 3,000 teachers and 1,500 new education assistants to support students with complex needs.

3 responsesWho is to blame for the education crisis?
By Lethbridge Herald on November 25th, 2025
Editor, The Alberta teacher strike spiraled into a disaster for all parties concerned, except for the provincial UCP government. As expected, their irresponsibility only exacerbated the mess. They are deliberately obtuse. Prior to the strike, teachers and their students had to bear the brunt of the classroom situation by working under horrible conditions. The teachers ... Read More »
26 responsesAlbertans must guard against foreign exploitation of our land
By Lethbridge Herald on November 22nd, 2025
Editor, Recent investigations by CBC, The Bureau, and Todayville have uncovered serious failures in PEI’s land oversight system. The Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission (IRAC) approved land acquisitions that appear to violate the spirit of provincial law—often involving opaque ownership structures, questionable religious entities, and patterns of acquisition that suggest regulatory capture rather than due ...

2 responsesShouldn’t pedestrian lights be consistent?
By Lethbridge Herald on November 19th, 2025
Editor, I read Ken Moore’s letter about synchronized traffic lights with interest. I agree, it would be wonderful if the light was green for us all the way down. An issue that I and some of my friends have with traffic lights, is that some of them, on the green light, the walk countdown to ... Read More »
1 responseWe can’t address climate change while ignoring animal agriculture
By Lethbridge Herald on November 19th, 2025
Editor: Climate scientists continue warning that animal agriculture is a major driver of greenhouse gas emissions, yet national climate plans still tiptoe around reducing meat consumption. We cannot meaningfully address climate change while ignoring one of its largest contributors. Relying on “efficient production” or “methane-reducing additives” will not solve a systemic problem. We must confront ... Read More »
3 responsesPoliticians only seem to be focusing on the negative these days
By Lethbridge Herald on November 19th, 2025
Editor, A friend of mine from Coaldale sent me a post by Rick Welin Recordist on Facebook entitled “Canadians Against Pierre Poilievre.” In it was the Finkelstein Formula for political candidates. Aurthur Finkelstein was a Republican consultant from New York. He had helped the likes of Ronald Reagan, Benjamin Netanyahu, Stephen Harper and Donald Trump ... Read More »
