Editor: I believe that we have to look into the current drug addiction crisis more deeply than as a mere law and order issue. Neither is it a problem of homelessness nor of a certain racial group. Without recognizing those deeper and wider issues, the problem will never go away. Remember during 1920’s the U.S. ... Read More »

Editor: Road conditions in Lethbridge are the worst I have ever seen in my 39 years of driving here. One could say our city’s priorities are in doubt.

Editor: The United Conservative Party (UCP) has embarked on an epic waste of taxpayer’s money. Anyone who pays taxes should be up in arms over the Alberta government’s new advertising campaign called Budget 2023.
