An attack on law-abiding Canadians
By Letter to the Editor on May 27th, 2020
The Nova Scotia tragedy was perpetrated using illegal guns from the U.S., and one illegal Canadian gun. Trudeau’s politicizing this with a gun ban does nothing to address the real problem: illegal guns! Trudeau is spending millions banning legally acquired guns from law-abiding citizens, leaving nothing to address illegal guns flooding our borders. The vast ... Read More »

We are engaged in an arduous war with a deadly enemy, the coronavirus. It is the greatest challenge humanity is confronting since the Second World War. The enemy may seem formidable but we shall win.

1 responseIt’s time to give normal lives back to people
By Letter to the Editor on May 23rd, 2020
Re: Social distancing and the new normal. These two terms I hope soon not to hear again. There is increasing anger, resentment, discontent and uncertainty in our country and this community. I feel it myself to the point where I cannot watch the news. How did we get into this impossible situation? Why is our ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!Letter was not advocating ‘culling’ deer
By Letter to the Editor on May 22nd, 2020
Re: John Nightingale’s May 13 response to my April 30 letter to the editor entitled “Deer can also pose a contagious disease danger.” Nowhere in my letter did I state “to cull the herd.” In Mr. Nightingale’s letter, four times he falsely attributes “cull” and “culling” to my article. The only reference I made to ... Read More »
3 responsesDoctors’ pay scale needs restructuring
By Letter to the Editor on May 21st, 2020
A restructuring of our doctors’ pay scale is essential as what we have is not sustainable. Our doctors are the highest paid in all of Canada, and gobble up 30 per cent of our budget! Although many doctors use the present system fairly, there are others who are doubling, even tripling their average salary. The ... Read More »
5 responsesCity council and YouTube
By Letter to the Editor on May 21st, 2020
I owe a debt of gratitude to my local government, for without it I would never have discovered the LoungeV Films YouTube channel. Our mayor recently described the extensive work of the council as involving the formation of approximately 16 subcommittees dedicated to COVID responses. On Thursday, April 23, being a COVID shut-in, I figured ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on May 16th, 2020
It’s not over, this COVID-19 crisis. We must continue to be observant and cautious about health and life. There are other questions we need to get on with. Can we go back to the way things were? What are the most important things to do now? I hear people talk about getting the economy growing ... Read More »
3 responsesRequest to shut down oil industry is misguided
By Letter to the Editor on May 16th, 2020
Seems some faculty and universities besides Lethbridge have departed from reality. How misinformed that group of staff who submitted to an equally misinformed prime minister a request for him to shut down Alberta’s oil industry. Universities live on government grants and in Alberta, over the years, energy royalties have been the greatest source of those ... Read More »
25 responsesPros and cons of COVID-19
By Letter to the Editor on May 15th, 2020
Before COVID-19, climate change was different in many industrial countries, such as China and India, where citizens wore face masks due to pollution in the atmosphere. Trump and the Conservatives did not believe this was a problem. Greta Thunberg was right when she said world leaders must be more involved in cleaning the atmosphere to ... Read More »
