Mine could be beneficial to Crowsnest Pass
By Lethbridge Herald on May 16th, 2025
Editor, There are the vast majority of people who are against the coal mine in the Crowsnest Pass who have no idea where the water is coming from nor do they know the small amount that is needed every year. There were two areas that had been dug down to create deep pits on the ... Read More »

2 responsesSmith doesnât speak for the majority
By Lethbridge Herald on May 14th, 2025
Editor, I am feeling anxious about Premier Smithâs well-being. My concern is that she may be suffering from a peptic condition. The reason I say this is because every time she opens her mouth there seems to be nothing other than a spume of acrid bile coming out. At the very least I think a ... Read More »

Editor, Open letter to Danielle Smith. It has come to my attention through double talk about only doing what Albertans want, you have lowered the threshold for referendums in Alberta. I believe you should read Jean Chretienâs book âStraight from the Heart.â He concludes his book by stating, âI feel strongly that we did not ...

19 responsesPremier talks about âhostile actsâ but not those of her own government
By Lethbridge Herald on May 13th, 2025
Editor, An open letter to Premier Smith Mark Carney has just been newly elected as Canadaâs prime minister. Apparently, Premier Smith is already warning him about hostile acts she believes he could enact against Alberta. What are hostile acts? In the consideration of brevity, I will not some of the threats to Albert that can ... Read More »

1 responseHow do we garner respect without showing it in return?
By Lethbridge Herald on May 9th, 2025
Editor, So, here we are post federal election and the âdreadedâ Liberals have been elected for a 4th term. I say âdreadedâ jokingly because I voted Liberal. Those who voted Conservative in our province are disappointed and our premier is demanding respect from the Liberal government or else. But how do we garner respect when ... Read More »

4 responsesPremier should focus on what Albertansâ needs, not UCP wants
By Lethbridge Herald on May 9th, 2025
Editor, I have been talking with fellow citizens, and we are concerned about how the Premier is leading Alberta. First, she destroyed the Health Care system by authorizing unprofessional doctors; now she wants to separate the province from the country. She has her war against the Liberals, but she must understand that Alberta belongs to ...

Be the first to comment!Premier Smithâs comments either ignorant or dishonest
By Lethbridge Herald on May 9th, 2025
Editor, Congratulations to Danielle Smith for single-handedly embarrassing the entire province of Alberta in just one 20-minute speech. Itâs actually quite impressive how much misinformation, nationalistic pandering, and historical revisionism she managed to cram into such a short timeframe. Those 20 minutes were not just misleading they were an insult to the intelligence of anyone ... Read More »
12 responsesAnti-vaxxer crowd should be careful what they wish for
By Lethbridge Herald on May 8th, 2025
Editor, Along with many others, I remember the Convoy shutdowns when trucks with giant Canadian flags sticking out the backs of their boxes roared en masse up and down University Drive and Scenic Drive, shutting down various streets and roads. They were protesting vaccine requirements. Meanwhile, every year millions of people in third world countries die ...
