Fifth Estate program overlooked LDS humanitarian efforts
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.

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 ...

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 »

By Lethbridge Herald on January 25th, 2023
Editor: Re: Couple arrested and charged after infant sexually assaulted in southern Alberta. I don’t know if some people are just so angry or they are completely insane and beyond any redemption whether its by way of medical treatment or some other kind of healing therapy.

1 responseAlberta police force another step toward privatization
By Lethbridge Herald on January 25th, 2023
Editor: I am not impressed with T. Shandro’s handling of the Health Ministry “problems.” I do not support an Alberta police force instead of the RCMP. Mr. Shandro has proven in two ministries that he can’t handle the responsibility. Why should Albertans provide another for him to screw up? I believe this is another step ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on January 20th, 2023
Editor: After reading Michael Adam’s article in the Dec. 31 Globe and Mail on diversity and how we Canadians are embracing it, I found it necessary for this 78-year-old to express himself. I have seen a lot of changes in the years after I found myself engaged in activities to support myself and later my ... Read More »
4 responsesFifth Estate episode unfairly attacked the LDS church
By Lethbridge Herald on January 20th, 2023

This program was loaded with innuendos and serious slanderous and ignorant comments. They also ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on January 20th, 2023
Editor: There will be a fellow in B.C. watching intently as to how Prince Harry is treated under U.S. law now that he has admitted previous drug use. You see, the fellow I refer to is a guy who admitted to a U.S. border agent that he had smoked marijuana when he was young but, ... Read More »
7 responsesOld City system worked better for taxpayers
By Lethbridge Herald on January 18th, 2023
Editor: It was a refreshing story in our local paper, the children being chosen to name the City Snow plows, a wonderful idea! However, it’s too bad that they will never live up to the names as for plowing. I have resided on 26 St. S. for 22 years and I have yet to see ... Read More »
1 responseCouncil needs to provide services and options for the vulnerable in Lethbridge
By Lethbridge Herald on January 18th, 2023
Editor: I was not surprised to read that mayor Hyggen, and councillors Dodic and Middleton-Hope had voted against funding Streets Alive to create 24-hour shelter. After all they haven’t been very empathetic to the needs of the homeless. However, I was shocked to read the interview with Mr. Kissick when he stated that the City ... Read More »
