Preston 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 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 ...

By Lethbridge Herald on January 25th, 2023

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: 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 »
