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 »

16 responsesBigness of churches and empires is a huge problem in the world
By Lethbridge Herald on April 27th, 2022
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. I am not happy that the media almost completely ignores the ... Read More »

2 responsesLetter contained inaccuracies about Canada’s Prime Minister
By Lethbridge Herald on April 21st, 2022
Editor: Mr. Yeoman wrote that Prime Minister Trudeau did not get a good reception to his recent speech to the European Parliament – in fact even that “outspoken parliamentarians denounced him.” This is opposite to the truth. It was reported that he got a standing ovation and the couple of detractors were political extremists upset ... Read More »
31 responsesJustin Trudeau is not a dictator, contrary to the opinion of writer
By Lethbridge Herald on April 21st, 2022
Editor: The April 6 letter from Tom Yeoman defending Rachael Thomas demands an immediate response. Although Justin Trudeau has made a lot of mistakes, he is not a dictator.

By Lethbridge Herald on April 13th, 2022
Editor: A recent letter to the Editor praised Rachael Thomas for “proving” that Trudeau was a “dictator.” A few days later, another writer proved that Ms. Thomas does not understand the definition of “dictator”. The letter of praise identifies any person who disagrees with Ms. Thomas as “thin-skinned”. I would suggest that the supporters of ... Read More »
