Letters to the Editor
A person just has to love Alberta politics
By Lethbridge Herald on January 19th, 2022
Editor: Now, I’m quite content to let the professionals analyze the psyscho-sexual impulses that lead a fellow to spend his spare time down in his basement polishing his Glock. I’m more interested in the socio-political reasoning which leads the premier to pick handguns for another of his trademark bush wars against the Feds. Our boy ... Read More »
8 responsesThoughts on letters to the editor and anonymous posts
By Lethbridge Herald on January 19th, 2022
Editor: When I was wondering what I should do after retirement, I thought of writing. I asked a friend for advice. He was a managing editor of a national magazine. He nixed the idea of a book. He said: publishing a ‘book’ may be good for your ego but it’s not easy to attract readers ... Read More »
12 responsesWhy won’t Kenney deal with the unvaccinated?
By Lethbridge Herald on January 19th, 2022
Editor: I am impressed how Quebec mandated vaccination proof to gain access to liquor and marijuana stores. Selfish non-vaxers who won’t get jabs, despite a collapsing health system, may drop their resistance in order to get booze or grass. Alberta foolishly tried bribing people $100 to get vaccinated and failed. Why is Kenney reluctant to ... Read More »
20 responsesPeople of Afghanistan need West’s help to survive
By Lethbridge Herald on January 19th, 2022
Editor: We watch on television with heartbreak a million children in Afghanistan are grossly undernourished, many dying daily from starvation. They have harrowed ittle faces, large haunted eyes, bones sticking out of their pale, wrinkled skin and swollen bellies due to prolonged hunger. I wonder what is their fault. This is not just an Afghanistan ... Read More »
3 responsesAlberta needs to stick with homegrown leaders
By Lethbridge Herald on January 14th, 2022
Editor: Alberta for the past few years has used a formula of hiring federal retread ministers to lead the province and people to some form of leadership and prosperity. As we can see, this formula is full of holes as our provincial finance picture is a complete collapse and the province is owing billions which ... Read More »
22 responsesDonald Trump a major threat to democracy in the United States
By Lethbridge Herald on January 13th, 2022
Editor: I was dismayed and appalled that a number of respondents thought that Trump should not be held accountable for the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot at the Capitol in DC. He started it with the “stop the steal” lie that the election had been stolen, even after many counts and recounts could find no election ... Read More »
20 responsesJan. 6 letter to the editor was trash
By Lethbridge Herald on January 12th, 2022
Editor: Shame on you, Lethbridge Herald, for printing the kind of trash that spewed from the mouth of Dennis Bremner in his Jan. 6 Letter to the Editor. You now share the blame in spreading unintelligent, uninformed, unfounded, and nonfactual information when you published his racist rant on those that live on the fringes of ... Read More »
9 responsesKenney letting anti-vaxxers win
By Lethbridge Herald on January 12th, 2022
Editor: Your headline “Kenney renews promise that Alberta will not mandate vaccinations” should actually read: “Kenney renews promise that COVID will continue.” What Kenney is actually saying is not so much that the choice to vaccinate is personal choice. Instead, his real message is “anti-vaxxers win, our health care workers are not worth protecting, and ... Read More »
19 responsesState of Alberta’s healthcare system should be of concern to everyone in the province
By Lethbridge Herald on January 12th, 2022
Editor: I am a very concerned citizen worried about the present state of our emergency services. Alberta’s healthcare system has been strained, from ambulance service to ICUs, for many months. Illness, physical and mental health injuries, and increased suicide have plagued its staff. Workers are exhausted and burned out at an alarming rate after almost ... Read More »
2 responsesComments on Indigenous peoples, Tailfeathers unwarranted
By Lethbridge Herald on January 11th, 2022
Dennis Bremner, your thoughts on our Indigenous neighbours is so wrong. Not everyone using drugs is Indigenous. I believe that there’s a lot of people that would like to see our friends that use drugs to just disappear. But everyone is someone’s daughter mother, sibling, father. So our communities need to start coming together to ... Read More »
7 responsesWriter retracts comment
By Lethbridge Herald on January 8th, 2022
Editor: I had a discussion with Dr. Tailfeathers and she stated that the 91 deaths in Lethbridge were not just drug addicts but were also the sick and suicides. She used the number 91 in the video saying the 91 died because the SCS closed. I never got a chance to ask more about the ... Read More »
