The older generation of Canadians won’t turn their back on those who need help
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
Editor: On Oct. 26, 2022 and again on Oct. 28, the Fifth Estate broadcast a program on TV which was very critical of the finances of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, identified by them as the Mormon Church. This program was loaded with innuendos and serious slanderous and ignorant comments. They also ... Read More »
10 responsesHow will U.S. respond to prince’s drug use?
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 »
7 responsesWhat we are makes us humans, not what we do
By Lethbridge Herald on January 18th, 2023
Editor: “What do you mean I need a vaccination certificate?” How did we make some people feel picked on? Some men are angry also because their life experience doesn’t count any more because of climate change or new technology. It is infuriating when our comfort zone is challenged. They feel personally attacked. I think it ... Read More »
3 responsesAre fair prices being offered for farm land around the city?
By Lethbridge Herald on January 18th, 2023
Editor: I read the two letters on city growth. Some interesting points were written. Within the City of Lethbridge, we have two different entities that are buying this land up. One is the City of Lethbridge and the other is developers. My questions about this subject is the price they offer for this land and ... Read More »
2 responsesAny thoughts on the organic collections program
By Lethbridge Herald on January 12th, 2023
Editor: We are guessing most city residents have read the Calgary residential organic collection rate is increased to $10 a month. So what are your expectations of this city’s monthly organic collection rate? On reading the Waste Management report of April 13, 2022 to the City Economic Standing Policy Committee in response to Rajko Dodic’s ... Read More »
5 responsesSomeone needs to figure out how to save Mother Earth
By Lethbridge Herald on January 12th, 2023
Editor: I’m watching a very intelligent man. Tell anyone who listens all the things that are going wrong with the planet we live on. It scares the heck out of me. Why? There is a very compelling argument that we the people are on the verge of doing irreparable damage to the thing we and ... Read More »
11 responsesColumn was offensive
By Lethbridge Herald on January 11th, 2023
Editor: Having a local newspaper is important to a city the size of Lethbridge. That’s why I have been a subscriber for decades. Vigorous debate is one thing. However, if I want to read Fox News, I can choose to do that. I don’t expect to see a feature article like “Your 2023 guide to ... Read More »
4 responsesThe West needs to protect allies from Putin
By Lethbridge Herald on January 11th, 2023
Editor: The anti–Christ is here and many have come before, according to 1 John 2. 18-21. When Putin proclaimed he was Jesus Christ and Saviour for the Russian people, it appeared a bit odd when an Orthodox bishop was seated there listening intently and none of them complained about him. One wonders what right Putin ... Read More »
