Canada getting ahead on the backs of the poor

By Letter to the Editor on February 13th, 2021

Editor: Canada has been a global leader in investment and showed political leadership in support of COVAX, and we should celebrate this!

Trudeau showing his lack of competence

By Letter to the Editor on February 12th, 2021

Editor: It was easily foreseen that suddenly Canada is pulling vaccines from an entity that was designed to provide Vaccines to countries who could not afford to purchase them. In fact, the signals have been sent by our illustrious Prime Minister for months. The only thing I do not understand about this Prime Minister is ... Read More »

City creates bullying behaviour

By Letter to the Editor on February 11th, 2021

Editor: The disgusting display by the woman where she argued, “she had a medical exemption to not wear a mask,”was a drop in a huge ocean of ignorance and disrespect, that most workers, have had to deal with in Lethbridge.

Stern action needed

By Letter to the Editor on February 11th, 2021

Editor: The issue of illegal surveillance of then Environment Minister Shannon Phillips by two Lethbridge police officers has been reopened. Comment in the press and by MLA Phillips has focused on questions of public trust. That, to me, misses the most important point.

Kenney needs to move on

By Lethbridge Herald on January 28th, 2021

Editor: The Lethbridge Herald Jan. 23 2021 carried a front page, scathing commentary by Ms. Harder on the XL pipeline being the fault of Mr. Trudeau. It seems Ms. Harder is woefully uninformed on the history of this pipeline. She apparently does not do her homework before making her vitriolic pronouncements. Mr. Harper in 2013 ... Read More »

We can’t just abolish the Senate

By Lethbridge Herald on January 28th, 2021

Editor: We cannot just “abolish” the post of governor general without serious thought about its necessary replacement. It must be replaced if it is not to be continued. All nations have a head of state. In most cases, that person’s office is “president” and others are some form of monarch title such as king/queen (Britain, ... Read More »

COVID protection doesn’t only involve Canada

By Lethbridge Herald on December 26th, 2020

Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s Chief public health officer, recently announced that: “This pandemic has demonstrated that inequities in our society place some populations — and ultimately, all Canadians at risk. No one is protected from the risk of COVID-19 until everyone is protected.” This doesn’t mean only within Canada: as long as the virus circulates, ... Read More »
