ditor: On a recent visit to downtown Lethbridge, I parked my vehicle, paid for 30 minutes at a parking kiosk, and went about my business.

ditor: Lethbridge City Hall’s callousness towards the homeless felines at the Last Chance Cat Ranch somewhat reminds me of the heartlessness exhibited by the city hall of Surrey, a city neighboring mine. Along with individual people, society collectively can also be quite cruel towards cats, especially ‘unwanted’ felines. For example, it was reported a few ... Read More »

Editor: At the time of his disgraceful conduct, Kelechi (Kaycee) Madu was a law school graduate, a member of the Alberta bar licensed to practice in Alberta, a Queen’s Counsel, and Alberta’s Minister of Justice and Solicitor General, the chief law enforcement officer in the province.

This never happened. Instead, Putin invaded Ukraine and lied about protecting them. He lied about holding talks for a ceasefire and ... Read More »

Editor: The province just moved to help people paying high fuel prices by lowering gas taxes. Checking on gas prices this weekend, it seems none of this tax break was going to Albertans. After a few days of lower prices, gas stations are right back to the same high cost per litre and the ongoing ... Read More »

Editor: As you may have deduced by now, I am passionate about The Last Chance Cat Ranch Lethbridge. And I remain devastated by the decision made by The City of Lethbridge Subdivision and Developmental Appeal Board. Let me once again make something perfectly clear – LCCR knows we have to move.

Editor: The main reason why I am writing this is not to pick on the Roman Catholic Church for being so very late in admitting its guilt of the residential schools, but to warn ourselves of the danger of being big, powerful, and wealthy.
