Thomas’ words reflected Europeans’ opinions of Trudeau
By Lethbridge Herald on May 5th, 2022
Editor: The front page story of a backlash over Lethbridge MP Thomas’ comments about PM Trudeau is at best an unpaid ad for the NDP/Liberal organizations. It left a number of facts unreported. Al Beeber wrote that Thomas posted a tweet by Mislav Kolakusic, Croatian member of the European Parliament and former judge that stated ... Read More »
19 responsesWhere is accountability in City administration
By Lethbridge Herald on May 5th, 2022
Editor: Who’s really running Lethbridge City Hall? Since moving to this fine city in 2008, I’ve witnessed a surprising and, frankly, disturbing, number of incidents of civic negligence, heavy-handed treatment of partners, and a shocking lack of oversight on civic contracts worth hundreds of thousands up to multiple millions of dollars. Like what, you might ... Read More »
7 responsesSupport for new condo complex well deserved
By Lethbridge Herald on May 4th, 2022
Editor: As a satisfied owner of an earlier Alvin Fritz condo development in downtown Lethbridge, which my mother lived in after relocating from Vancouver, I applaud city council’s decision to support the development proposed for 102 Scenic Drive. I can confirm the earlier Fritz developments were a credit to downtown Lethbridge, and I have no ... Read More »
1 responseParking ticket may be a violation of rights
By Lethbridge Herald on May 4th, 2022
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. My appointment took longer than anticipated and when I returned to my vehicle it had been ticketed. I guess you could say that because my time had expired, my vehicle ... Read More »
30 responsesCity Hall’s lack of consideration for cat ranch is heartless
By Lethbridge Herald on May 4th, 2022
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 »
13 responsesKaycee Madu must face indictment over ticket matter
By Lethbridge Herald on April 30th, 2022
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. As such, I am going to risk being labelled ... Read More »
9 responsesVladimir Putin will lose his war on Ukraine
By Lethbridge Herald on April 30th, 2022
Editor: If Putin conquers the world and he loses his soul, what benefit does he gain? He promised Ukraine in the 1990s that if they give up their nuclear arsenals, they will gain security. This never happened. Instead, Putin invaded Ukraine and lied about protecting them. He lied about holding talks for a ceasefire and ... Read More »
5 responsesDeregulation is why we are paying more for utilities
By Lethbridge Herald on April 29th, 2022
Editor: Provincial and federal elected representatives are fielding complaints of high utility bills while chanting the “Less government, more Canada” slogan. “Less government” is why we pay high vehicle registration and licensing fees. “Less government” or privatization of utilities is exactly the reason why we have such high utility bills. Alta-link – purchased by U.S. ... Read More »
6 responsesRidership count on city transit means more than percentage
By Lethbridge Herald on April 29th, 2022
Editor: Re: The Herald Wednesday April 27 “CityLink transit network to become permanent.” The story goes on to say that a report submitted to council shows one time performance has improved by 26.07 per cent while ridership is up 65.73 per cent. Those numbers are very impressive; however any time I watch a city bus ... Read More »
2 responsesWho does the UCP want to help? Oil companies or Albertans?
By Lethbridge Herald on April 27th, 2022
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 »
11 responsesOdours are not a problem at the Last Chance Cat Ranch
By Lethbridge Herald on April 27th, 2022
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. LCCR knows we are ... Read More »
