Unvaxxed should refuse ICU beds if infected
By Lethbridge Herald on January 8th, 2022
Editor: I am one of the Canadians angered at unvaxxed people. It infuriates me to read that staff are burned out and ICU beds are full with COVID patients, 90 per cent of whom are not vaccinated. I accept that most of you will not change your opposition so here’s my offer to you: Sign ... Read More »
23 responsesLougheed was right to protect Alberta’s mountains
By Lethbridge Herald on January 8th, 2022
Editor: Watching Jason Kenney spread one more lie on TV didn’t surprise me. The guy has proven to be an habitual liar. He claims B.C. is mining coal safely and Alberta should allow it also on the Eastern Slopes. Yet we learned last March that Teck Coal Limited pleaded guilty to polluting waters in ... Read More »
10 responsesThank you for sharing Pastor Phil’s story
By Lethbridge Herald on January 8th, 2022
Editor: Re: Celebrating 60 Years of Ministry Several years ago, we visited Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Canmore and heard fond memories the older members had of Pastor Phil Jorgenson. Those of us who have the privilege of knowing Pastor Phil see the growth of churches under his care as a by-product of ... Read More »
2 responsesImagine a world where people aren’t being labelled
By Lethbridge Herald on January 7th, 2022
Editor: I would like to first of all state I think I have some understanding of the pain and suffering of what we call minorities in this country called Canada. This could be those who consider themselves Indigenous, Black, Brown or Asian peoples. I personally like to call them “fellow human beings”. Although it is ... Read More »
17 responsesMask bylaws restrict rights and freedoms for good reason
By Lethbridge Herald on January 7th, 2022
Editor: We all claim rights and freedoms (R&F) but almost every one of us also wants safety and security. And laws may limit some of our R&F while trying to offer the public the desired safety and security asked for and demanded. Every country is governed by laws. Some laws by limiting some R&F are ...

9 responsesBlood 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 »

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 »

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 »
