1 responseBeing able to reason takes effort
By Letter to the Editor on October 28th, 2021
Editor: I heard of someone refusing to get vaccinated. Reportedly she said, “I refuse to have an experimental medicine jabbed into my body.” So she was not allowed to attend the class. “Experimental medicine?” How can any intelligent person believe in such bogus information! It’s hard to believe, but it is true that they believe ... Read More »
31 responsesUCP is failing us
By Letter to the Editor on October 28th, 2021
Editor: The situation worsens. Jason Kenney, you have lost the religious loyalty of many Albertans. In your first year as premier, one friend itemized a listing of over 70 destructive impacts. Sufficient for me is one serious item, but they are legion. For example. Healthcare-you appear intent on destroying our main support network when we ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on October 27th, 2021
As the new Minister of Community and Social Services (CSS), it has been an amazing learning experience to travel the province and meet hundreds of Albertans over the summer.

1 responseLTC ‘pot shots’ were unfair
By Lethbridge Herald on October 16th, 2021
Editor: As an incumbent member of Lethbridge city council, we are always held accountable. That’s an important part of democracy and key to our job. I take offence when a special interest group takes pot shots through the local media. Not once did the Lethbridge Transparency Council (LTC) reach out to me on an issue ... Read More »
1 responseIvermectin no treatment for COVID-19
By Lethbridge Herald on October 16th, 2021
Editor: The COVID-19 pandemic has been long and tiresome to say the least. We all want – and need – safe, effective therapies to help prevent more suffering and death. Unfortunately, in the sometimes desperate search for treatments to prevent or treat COVID-19, an epidemic of misinformation has emerged around which medications are, and aren’t, ... Read More »
43 responsesFixing city’s social issues will take co-operation
By Lethbridge Herald on October 16th, 2021
Editor: The biggest issue in Lethbridge is that we have social problems that are making this entire community less safe and less desirable as a place to live. Everything else will come together if we solve the homeless and addiction and drug-dealing issues. Basically we are perpetuating a cycle of wash, rinse, repeat. We should ... Read More »

6 responsesWho not to vote for should be considered on Monday
By Letter to the Editor on October 15th, 2021
Editor: Who to vote for? Maybe consider who not to vote for instead. Have you been considering who to vote for in the civic election on Oct. 18? The question should also be: “Who should we not vote for?” Even though their intentions may have been honourable and sincere, the current councillors have clearly demonstrated ... Read More »
4 responsesCo-existence between walkers and disc golfers should be possible
By Letter to the Editor on October 14th, 2021
Editor, While walking my dog at the Peenaquim off leash dog park the other day, I noticed the already cramped parking area was back-to-back vehicles also overflowing up the sides of the road. It turns out that disc golf players were parking there as well! See, the disc baskets have already been erected and there ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on October 13th, 2021
Editor: I would like to thank The Herald for including trustee profiles in your candidate highlight articles. These have allowed more members of our community to become aware of this role as well as some of the issues our local community is facing within education.
