People 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 »
15 responsesUnvaxxed 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 ...

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 »
