By Letter to the Editor on September 16th, 2021
Editor: Over the past few weeks, we have been educating membership as per our Treaty Rights and Referendum process established by Chief and council.

1 responseAnti-vaxxers the reason for new measures
By Letter to the Editor on September 15th, 2021
Editor: I would like to expand on Dennis Bremner’s excellent letter pointing out that some people don’t trust the COVID-19 vaccination but are willing to take an unproven horse de-wormer. I just don’t get these people and how their brain works or more to the point, doesn’t work. Let me spin this in another direction. ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on September 15th, 2021
Editor: As a fairly new arrival to the city of Lethbridge I have just recently learned about a discriminatory issue with the buses in Lethbridge. My family and I are fairly fortunate so we can afford some luxuries that some people cannot. So we are not totally dependent on using Lethbridge transit for our transportation, ... Read More »
2 responsesHinshaw should be running the COVID show
By Letter to the Editor on September 15th, 2021
Editor: Kenney was in hiding for three weeks because he could not face Albertans due to the surge of COVID-19 cases. He is not a leader for the taxpayers; instead, he caters to the rich and the famous. It seems he creates a lockdown every 2-4 months and now that we are in the fourth ... Read More »
3 responsesWe need to start caring about each other
By Letter to the Editor on September 15th, 2021
Editor:  I have just read the vaccination figures for areas around Lethbridge – 38 per cent, 42 per cent, etc. and it breaks my heart. So many people are suffering and unable to get treatment because the unvaccinated are taking up the hospital beds; unvaccinated folks are costing the province millions of dollars in health ...

1 responseAnti-vaxxers disrespectful of our freedoms
By Letter to the Editor on September 11th, 2021
Editor: The conduct of the people who are protesting COVID vaccinations, is disgusting,to say the least. They are exhibiting not only a lack of civility but also a severe deficiency in brain power. Don’t they understand that in a civil society, no one has a right to absolute freedom? Our freedoms end when our actions ... Read More »
30 responsesWhy has western democracy failed so badly?
By Letter to the Editor on September 11th, 2021
Editor: I don’t like Communists nor Islamic fundamentalist rule in Afghanistan. But that’s not the point. I was shocked and surprised how fast the Afghan government collapsed even after 20 years of the involvement of the world’s wealthiest countries to support it. It cost billions of dollars and sacrifices of thousands of lives. It reminds ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!Anti-maskers should be fined
By Letter to the Editor on September 9th, 2021
Editor: Where are the protests? No smoking in public places – why? Seatbelts in a car are the law – why? No shirt, no shoes, no service – why? I am so tired of arrogant, self-centered, uniformed anti-mask, anti-vaccine people. Don’t get a vaccine if you don’t want but you don’t have to scream about ... Read More »
19 responsesMortgage letter contained inaccuracies
By Letter to the Editor on September 9th, 2021
Editor: Writer D. Ryane’s letter to the editor of Friday, Aug. 27 contained some inaccurate information on mortgages. The writer is obviously confused about amortization and term and is likely to inflict hs confusion upon some readers. Very simply, when the writer refers to a 40-year mortgage, he believes it has a 40-year term. Not ... Read More »
