MLAs have responsibility to engage with their constituents
By Lethbridge Herald on December 24th, 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 responseFloor-crossing a betrayal of those who voted for a candidate
By Lethbridge Herald on December 20th, 2025
Editor, I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with the decision of Michael Ma, the Member of Parliament for Markham-Unionville, to cross the floor and join the Liberal Party, having been elected under the Conservative Party banner. Mr. Ma was elected as a Conservative by the constituents of Markham-Unionville to fight against Liberal inflationary ... Read More »
7 responsesIt’s time Neudorf gave a real statement on his recall
By Lethbridge Herald on December 19th, 2025
Editor, The recall for MLA Nathan Neudorf is looking suspiciously like bad-faith initiative. The organizer has refused to make a statement, and there are credible reports that it was undertaken by UCP insiders with possible links to Neudorf\’s office itself. Are the reports true? I don’t know, but the MLA needs to make a substantive ... Read More »
5 responsesNeudorf’s column raises questions
By Lethbridge Herald on December 19th, 2025
Editor, MLA Nathan Neudorf’s “At the Legislature” column (Lethbridge Herald, Dec. 12, 2025) purports to be a Christmas greeting, but it raises a number of questions for me. Ironically, the column sandwiched between an editorial cartoon depicting Danielle Smith riding roughshod over democracy and a Lorne Fitch letter listing UCP actions that are the opposite ...

3 responsesPierre the Turtle, his troops and the art of the loop
By Lethbridge Herald on December 19th, 2025
Editor, In a big marble room with cameras and hats, Sat rows of MPs behind polished chats. Among them, a seat marked Lethbridge in name, Present in number, but absent in aim. Not front of the room where the questions are tough, Not speaking for workers when answers are rough, But placed just behind where ... Read More »
3 responsesUCP government not offering aid to those who need it most
By Lethbridge Herald on December 17th, 2025
Editor, Seeing the raft of challenges Danielle Smith has dumped on people with disabilities, I can’t help but wonder why? Why in God’s name would she and her colleagues do these things? Don’t they believe in their hearts and minds that they ought to do good for their fellow Albertans? But just look at what ... Read More »
22 responsesDanielle Smith’s UCP isn’t conservative, it’s just populist
By Lethbridge Herald on December 12th, 2025
Editor, Danielle Smith is a populist; that isn’t news. Trump, Poilievre and even to an extent,Doug Ford, practice populism, but none practices populism as vigorously as Danielle Smith. Smith’s ferocity towards populism would make most dedicated, high libido 19-year-olds blush. It’s just unfortunate that Smith’s only influence comes from backseat bobbleheads, Rob Anderson or Jeff ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on December 12th, 2025
Editor, A couple of Provincial Cabinet Ministers, the Minister of Education Demetrios Nicoliades and Infrastructure Minister Martin Long, broke cover this last week or so, and admitted that their government nullified the Charter of Rights because they “could not risk allowing the labour dispute to go to arbitration and put the province at risk of ...

6 responsesRecall efforts highlight impatience of Alberta NDP
By Lethbridge Herald on December 10th, 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 »
