Editor, An open letter to Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides: Stop the starvation of public education, censorship of books and curriculum circumcision, Minister Nicolaides: Unless you write it yourself, there will be no history book proudly recording your term as Minister of Education for the Alberta UCP. You have not stood up for equal-access education for ... Read More »
20 responsesCanada needs policies to promote low- or no-carbon energy systems
By Lethbridge Herald on May 28th, 2025
Editor, In the Herald’s guest column of May 15, 2025, Bill Whitelaw laments that Canada’s current energy policy signals a clear intention to phase out the traditional oil and gas industry in favour of what he calls “an ideological climate agenda”. He ignores the elephant in the room: the existential threat of climate change currently ... Read More »
4 responsesCanadians should remember the Bomarc lesson
By Lethbridge Herald on May 28th, 2025
Editor, The glorious leader of the United States, Donald Trump, has invited Canada and the officials to join in on the GoldenDome missile defense system. This system would protect North American from our Feared Enemy, Russia. Should we join in on thiventure? In 1958, the Diefenbaker Conservative government cancelled the best military aircraft that was ... Read More »
5 responsesGood customer service will make it easier to buy Canadian
By Lethbridge Herald on May 24th, 2025
Editor, Even though I don’t like the orange-faced, weird hair, felon that is in charge of the United States, with his stupid concepts, and a total lack of education and common sense, I do have to give him some kudos. He has spurred Canada into becoming a more united country, more than we have been, for ... Read More »
1 responseEnergy Regulator serves itself, not us
By Lethbridge Herald on May 23rd, 2025
Editor, Further to the May 2) Lethbridge Herald Guest column by Lorne Fitch titled “Energy Regulator has done the bare minimum”, I respectfully submit the following. As an industry-funded, self-regulatory body, I find the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER), does very little for the public, while doing the maximum to serve the industry who pays their ... Read More »
10 responsesPremier should clean her own house before telling others how to govern
By Lethbridge Herald on May 23rd, 2025
Editor, An open Letter to Premier Danielle Smith: Before you even think of separating Alberta from Canada, which I believe is just a ploy to divert Albertans’ attention to the mess that you have created with the Health System, I suggest that you clean your house first. Revise or drop the bills that are not ... Read More »
13 responsesCarney doesn’t walk the walk as a ‘devout’ Catholic
By Lethbridge Herald on May 21st, 2025
Editor, Re: “Carney travelling to Rome today, will be among world leaders at Pope’s inaugural mass,” May 16. The article states: “Carney is a devout Catholic…” This is a false statement. Marc Carney supports and advocates for abortion, euthanasia and same-sex marriage. The Catholic Church teaches, as everybody knows, against all of these. ... Read More »
15 responsesNDP supporters get all the airtime in the Herald
By Lethbridge Herald on May 21st, 2025
Editor, First of all, I find it strange that this submission by Mr. Phil Burpee got the time of day from the Lethbridge Herald. It would appear the Herald has no issue with publishing a misogynist maligning rant as long as its directed at the UCP. The rant even violates their own stated rules of ... Read More »

3 responsesSmith seems to be seeking royal position
By Lethbridge Herald on May 16th, 2025
Editor, In case there were any doubts Alberta’s Premier was a science-denying demagogue with designs on the throne of Alberta, Danielle Smith’s startling televised speech to the public buried those doubts like a tank of pumped fracking fluid. We can assume our own UCP representative, Nathan Neudorf, is firm in his backing of her quest ... Read More »
