We need to take action to halt COVID-19
By Letter to the Editor on April 8th, 2021
Editor: The younger generation are front- line workers (hospital,schools, stores, grocery stores, baristas, first responders …) The younger generation often has to live in group settings to survive financially. There is no paid sick leave for many in the younger generation to survive getting sick. Furthermore, our vaccination rate cannot keep up with the infection ... Read More »
4 responsesNew Alberta curriculum is rubbish
By Letter to the Editor on April 7th, 2021
Premier Kenney: As both a father of two young children and an educator of 17 years in this province, I am writing to express my profound disappointment with the draft K-6 curriculum released this week. Although I, like so many others, have grave concerns with the Social Studies content in terms of its Eurocentric, colonialist ... Read More »
22 responsesKenney needs to move on
By Lethbridge Herald on January 28th, 2021
Editor: The Lethbridge Herald Jan. 23 2021 carried a front page, scathing commentary by Ms. Harder on the XL pipeline being the fault of Mr. Trudeau. It seems Ms. Harder is woefully uninformed on the history of this pipeline. She apparently does not do her homework before making her vitriolic pronouncements. Mr. Harper in 2013 ... Read More »

1 responseWe can’t just abolish the Senate
By Lethbridge Herald on January 28th, 2021
Editor: We cannot just “abolish” the post of governor general without serious thought about its necessary replacement. It must be replaced if it is not to be continued. All nations have a head of state. In most cases, that person’s office is “president” and others are some form of monarch title such as king/queen (Britain, ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!COVID protection doesn’t only involve Canada
By Lethbridge Herald on December 26th, 2020
Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s Chief public health officer, recently announced that: “This pandemic has demonstrated that inequities in our society place some populations — and ultimately, all Canadians at risk. No one is protected from the risk of COVID-19 until everyone is protected.” This doesn’t mean only within Canada: as long as the virus circulates, ... Read More »
3 responsesDo you really want permanent Daylight Saving Time?
By Lethbridge Herald on December 26th, 2020
Because of the pandemic, the Government of Alberta decided to postpone a decision on whether to move to permanent Daylight Savings Time. I expect this conversation will begin again once the pandemic becomes less front of mind. I encourage all Albertans to take a quick look outside between 7:30 and 8 o’clock any morning, and ...

2 responsesPandemic measures are painted using a broad brush
By Lethbridge Herald on December 26th, 2020
The Problem The government can only paint with a broad brush and so when they shut the economy down they do exactly that and close all businesses even those that are perfectly safe and could remain open. The result is frustration and resentment at the unfairness as well as deeper economic losses and ultimately more ... Read More »
3 responsesThere are other victims of drug crisis besides the addicts
By Lethbridge Herald on November 13th, 2020
As I watch a certain segment of the population of Lethbridge spin their various agendas, I feel that I need to address one of the more serious problems we have been facing in recent years. I most certainly appreciate and respect those of our city who want to help what they consider our most vulnerable ... Read More »
14 responsesRemembering those on both sides of conflict
By Lethbridge Herald on November 13th, 2020
Most soldiers on both sides of conflict sincerely believe that they are fighting for a good cause. That’s why it’s important to remember and honour all soldiers who went to war. My uncle Mitsugu fought the U.S. Army, for example. I will never demonize him just because he fought under the wrong flag. He was ... Read More »
1 responseUCP government continuing to play the blame game
By Lethbridge Herald on October 6th, 2020
The blame game is always on the lips of those that are currently in power (re: “Throne speech missed the mark: Kenney,” Sept. 25 Herald). This Conservative government has no defence to offer for the mismanagement of the Heritage Fund since the retirement of Premier Lougheed in 1985. Mr. Kenney is very good at passing ... Read More »
