By Lethbridge Herald on May 6th, 2022
Editor: Â I was looking up the definition of the word âservice.â Amenity, resource, utility, solution, system were some of the words used to define it.

1 responseZelenskyy must give up something to end war in Ukraine
By Lethbridge Herald on May 6th, 2022
Too much destruction and death of Ukrainian soldiers and innocent civilians has already happened. This ongoing tragedy must stop. Sending weapons to Ukraine is not the answer to making peace – although we must send weaponry as long as the brutal war is on. NATO is not showing any interest in encouraging negotiations between the ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Thomas’ words reflected Europeans’ opinions of Trudeau
By Lethbridge Herald on May 5th, 2022
Editor: The front page story of a backlash over Lethbridge MP Thomasâ comments about PM Trudeau is at best an unpaid ad for the NDP/Liberal organizations. It left a number of facts unreported. Al Beeber wrote that Thomas posted a tweet by Mislav Kolakusic, Croatian member of the European Parliament and former judge that stated ... Read More »
19 responsesWhere is accountability in City administration
By Lethbridge Herald on May 5th, 2022
Editor: Whoâs really running Lethbridge City Hall? Since moving to this fine city in 2008, Iâve witnessed a surprising and, frankly, disturbing, number of incidents of civic negligence, heavy-handed treatment of partners, and a shocking lack of oversight on civic contracts worth hundreds of thousands up to multiple millions of dollars. Like what, you might ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on May 4th, 2022
ditor: On a recent visit to downtown Lethbridge, I parked my vehicle, paid for 30 minutes at a parking kiosk, and went about my business. My appointment took longer than anticipated and when I returned to my vehicle it had been ticketed. I guess you could say that because my time had expired, my vehicle ...

By Lethbridge Herald on May 4th, 2022
Editor: As a satisfied owner of an earlier Alvin Fritz condo development in downtown Lethbridge, which my mother lived in after relocating from Vancouver, I applaud city councilâs decision to support the development proposed for 102 Scenic Drive.

1 responseCity Hall’s lack of consideration for cat ranch is heartless
By Lethbridge Herald on May 4th, 2022
ditor: Lethbridge City Hallâs callousness towards the homeless felines at the Last Chance Cat Ranch somewhat reminds me of the heartlessness exhibited by the city hall of Surrey, a city neighboring mine.   Along with individual people, society collectively can also be quite cruel towards cats, especially âunwantedâ felines. For example, it was reported a few ... Read More »

9 responsesVladimir Putin will lose his war on Ukraine
By Lethbridge Herald on April 30th, 2022
Editor: If Putin conquers the world and he loses his soul, what benefit does he gain? He promised Ukraine in the 1990s that if they give up their nuclear arsenals, they will gain security. This never happened. Instead, Putin invaded Ukraine and lied about protecting them. He lied about holding talks for a ceasefire and ... Read More »
5 responsesDeregulation is why we are paying more for utilities
By Lethbridge Herald on April 29th, 2022
Editor: Provincial and federal elected representatives are fielding complaints of high utility bills while chanting the âLess government, more Canadaâ slogan. âLess governmentâ is why we pay high vehicle registration and licensing fees. âLess governmentâ or privatization of utilities is exactly the reason why we have such high utility bills. Alta-link â purchased by U.S. ... Read More »
