Blood Reserve setting the city up for failure
By Letter to the Editor on January 5th, 2022
Editor: I notice a comment made by Dr. TailFeather’s daughter “ellemaijatailfeathers” on social media stating she thought it was “fair to assume” Lethbridge did not have enough warming shelters because the city did not care and because the people suffering were Indigenous! She sent this to the “cityoflethbridge”. “Many of our people were turned away” ... Read More »
118 responsesAngels interrupted their day to assist seniors in the snow
By Letter to the Editor on January 5th, 2022
Editor: On Sunday morning my husband and I left the west side to attend our church, St. Augustine’s. We were not sure if we would be able to do this, but the wind had died down, the west side hill was fine. It was when we turned onto 4 Street South we ran into a ... Read More »
1 responseBlanket bureaucratic policies don’t work for everyone
By Letter to the Editor on December 29th, 2021
 Well it finally happened, our garbage collection has been moved from the alley to the front street. We live in an established north side area, backing onto a neighbourhood park. We have a well maintained, paved back lane. Waste and Recycling have outlined the reasons for this change and I will paraphrase their comments. 1) ... Read More »
6 responsesMaybe God has no need or desire to be worshipped
By Letter to the Editor on December 29th, 2021
Editor: Re:Â “Everything is happening as prophesized in Bible,” Letters to the Editor, Dec.15 Over decades, I’ve found that too many monotheists have unwittingly created God’s nature in their own characteristically fallible and angry, vengeful image. I sometimes wonder whether the general human need for retributive justice can be intrinsically linked to the same terribly flawed ... Read More »
13 responsesBible’s purpose is to show the way to salvation
By Lethbridge Herald on December 24th, 2021
The letter from Edna Mackenzie in the Dec. 15 paper does not seem to convince the people who wrote comments about her letter to believe the Bible, or even that there is a God. I have read many times “there are so many gods.” No there is only one God, the Lord God. I’ve also read ... Read More »
18 responsesIt is much better to give than to receive
By Letter to the Editor on December 22nd, 2021
Editor: It’s Christmas season. It’s the time to be charitable and to give to those who need help. It’s better to give than to receive. Humans by nature is proud. Dignity is more important than a full stomach. Of course, we have to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. But it is far better ... Read More »
1 responseThird bridge needs to be marketed properly
By Letter to the Editor on December 22nd, 2021
Editor: I believe the third bridge or thoughts of a third bridge are being marketed incorrectly and probably will end up being another fiasco much like the buying of the airport! Then deciding to put all the drug addicts in all our local motels so the motel “star ratings” tank on places like TripAdvisor and ... Read More »
13 responsesRecent snowfalls show the need for proper removal
By Letter to the Editor on December 17th, 2021
Editor: These last two snowfalls in Lethbridge were perfect of examples of why snow needs to be removed from sidewalks and pathways. In a climate such as ours, it often snows and then melts, and then snows and melts again. Repeat. Unfortunantely, the melt is often not complete between snowfalls and the snow that wasn’t ...

2 responsesAre we all going to find ourselves members of the UCP thanks to a stranger?
By Letter to the Editor on December 17th, 2021
Editor: I fully expect that, by this time next month, I and everyone else I know, along with the population of half the graveyards in Alberta, will be fully paid up members of the United Conservative Party thanks to some kind stranger buying memberships in our names. Not that we’ll know about it of course. ... Read More »
26 responsesUCP’s Bill 81 is completely undemocratic
By Letter to the Editor on December 15th, 2021
Editor: The government of Alberta just passed bill 81 allowing citizens to buy extra party memberships and put them in the names of others without informing them. I don’t care which party does this I object to them putting my name as a supporter without my permission. This so Undemocratic in a society believing in ... Read More »
6 responsesGovernment has dropped ball on its COVID response
By Letter to the Editor on December 15th, 2021
Editor: With the rise of the Omicron variant, the world seems to have been put on hold once again and several countries including Canada, have reacted in extraordinary ways. Though perhaps “overreacted” would be a better word. Prohibiting flights from selected African countries made little sense considering that as of the 9th Dec., Omicron is ... Read More »
