An angel who can weld saved two stranded newcomers to the city
By Lethbridge Herald on February 8th, 2023
Editor: I never knew that angels know how to weld. On Thursday night my husband and I were in our box truck towing our camping trailer when we had a catastrophic failure. The frame of the box truck broke – the tail hitch and, therefore our trailer, were dragging along the road. A few minutes ... Read More »
4 responsesOpinions should be carefully weighted before adopted as belief
By Lethbridge Herald on February 8th, 2023
Editor: Black and white opinions seem to occupy right-wing views and their uncomplicated, straight forward positions often help the supporter to see those positions as being righteous. The very fact that what appears to be obvious as it relates to the observer’s culture, religion or background, supports a dedication to those views. The danger, however, ... Read More »

7 responsesCanadians have become addicted to self-indulgence
By Lethbridge Herald on February 3rd, 2023
Editor: Once upon a time “information was power.” Generally, that information was used to increase knowledge and understanding of how things worked. Those with the greatest understanding of how things worked could use it to control the proletariat. No longer! You don’t need to possess information at all. All you need now is the ability ...

3 responsesFormer MRU professor shouldn’t be given a platform
By Lethbridge Herald on February 1st, 2023
NOTE: The event was cancelled but the letter still has merit. Editor: The Department of Indigenous Studies vehemently condemns the anti-Indigenous rhetoric routinely disseminated by former MRU professor Frances Widdowson and deplores the fact that she is being given a platform to legitimize that discourse on our campus. Widdowson has left us in no doubt ... Read More »
15 responsesPreston Manning has no credibility to chair COVID-19 review
By Lethbridge Herald on February 1st, 2023
Editor: Danielle Smith has allowed Preston Manning to fleece Albertans, doubly. Manning is collecting his parliamentary pension, and has been since he left office in 2002. It is based on his salary earned in the last five years – 1997 to 2002. How is he qualified to chair the panel about COVID-19 measures when he ... Read More »
10 responsesTraffic redesign plan for 3 Avenue much-needed for the area
By Lethbridge Herald on February 1st, 2023
Editor: I’m afraid I must disagree with Mr. B. Ewing’s assertion that re-designing traffic flow along the 3rd Avenue South corridor between Stafford Drive and Mayor Magrath Drives South will be harmful to the community. Mr. Ewing neglects to realize that the whole of the Warehouse District does not exist to move motor vehicles from ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on February 1st, 2023
Editor: In response to the recent program the Fifth Estate aired about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I would like to share a few comments. Dedicated church members are generally happy to pay tithes and offerings. This principle dates back to Old Testament Bible times as is found in the scripture of ... Read More »

As executor for my aunt’s will I felt that I should mention my own experience with Green Acres Foundation – Garden View Lodge. She passed just five days before the end of the month, a couple of ...

3 responsesPlans to reduce traffic lanes on 3 Avenue South a poor idea
By Lethbridge Herald on January 25th, 2023
Editor: For those of us who went to the January 2023 Community Conversation at the Enmax, many were in shock to once again see plans of a rejected plan to further reduce traffic lanes on 3 Avenue South right to Mayor Magrath Drive, adding more traffic lights/pedestrian crossing lights, completely destroying the flow of traffic ...

8 responsesGrieving woman treated poorly after mom’s loss
By Lethbridge Herald on January 25th, 2023
Editor: How crass Season’s Retirement Community demand Kaylene Neufeld pay $1,200 for failing to provide a 30-day notice to vacate which was not presaged. We have a grieving loved one who just lost her mother and during mourning her despair is amplified by the response of an operation that exudes with corporate greed. Seasons receives ... Read More »
