By Lethbridge Herald on August 31st, 2024
Editor: As we approach Labour Day 2024, it’s an opportune moment to reflect on the significant strides made by workers in Canada, as well as the challenges that lie ahead. This year, Labour Day is more than just a celebration; it’s a call to action for all of us who believe in the power of ... Read More »
6 responsesAlberta condo owners have been shorted by the province
By Lethbridge Herald on August 31st, 2024
Editor: The fact that Minister Neudorf has any comments on using the words affordability and electricity in the same paragraph is absolutely laughable. Remember the electricity rebate package from last year that saw most home owners received a total of $500 in monthly rebates on the costs of their electricity as a credit on their ... Read More »
6 responsesAll faces deserve to be shown equal respect in the global village
By Lethbridge Herald on August 30th, 2024
Editor: One tableau staged as a part of the 2024 Olympic Opening Ceremony in Paris provoked some controversies. It depicted the Greek God Dionysus’ dinner table. Some Christians mistakenly thought it was making fun of Christ’s Last Supper. It shows cultures and traditions can be very easily misunderstood. Obstinate fundamentalists of all varieties are offended ... Read More »
5 responsesUnspoken issues with recycling need to be addressed
By Lethbridge Herald on August 29th, 2024
Editor:  With regard to the Thursday, Aug. 15 article on the Alberta government’s implementation of EPR – Extended Producer Responsibility: The article by Al Beeber has a lot of information we Albertans need to know but it is the things not said that I feel need to be examined. Firstly: Responsibility It is all about ... Read More »
14 responsesPoliticians in charge of the health system are failing people
By Lethbridge Herald on August 23rd, 2024
Editor: There’s nothing like personal experience to bring politics home. Right now, I’m paying attention to health care issues – in particular wait times for elective surgeries. I’m waiting for a hip replacement. When I share that, strangers share stories of a person in their life that needs a hip or recently received hip surgery. ... Read More »
32 responsesKamala Harris a worthy and serious presidential candidate
By Lethbridge Herald on August 23rd, 2024
Editor: Re: “Harris won’t have the support of Democrats in the election”: In a recent Letter to the Editor, the writer states “Biden was dumped….Harris was selected by party insiders to replace him…” and concludes that Democrats will not support her.  Today, Biden is still the American president. He chose Kamala Harris as his ...

10 responsesPrime Minister doesn’t deserve all the blame being put on him
By Lethbridge Herald on August 16th, 2024
 Editor: It’s rather sad/humorous that Justin seems to have such power! Did he also start the Second World War? Or are we just ready for a “new” government, one which will take away all those benefits that we are complaining about because they cost so much? Remember, if our budget becomes balanced, where do you ...

6 responsesHarris won’t have the support of Democrats in the election
By Lethbridge Herald on August 16th, 2024
Editor: Joe Biden, the incumbent President, won the majority of party delegates last March to receive the Democrat nomination for this fall’s election. There was an actual democratic process involved; “uncommitted” took second place. No such process has yet vetted Kamala Harris.  Biden was unceremoniously dumped after his disastrous debate June 27, and Harris was ... Read More »
35 responsesComforts are leading to complacency among today’s youth
By Lethbridge Herald on August 14th, 2024
Editor: I worry for the youth of today, because I’m one of them. As an 18-year-old I have not been on this Earth for very long, but in my short tenure as a person I have borne witness to things that shake me to the core. My peers have been granted much by the generations ... Read More »
7 responsesWhy not design back lanes downtown to accomodate bikes?
By Lethbridge Herald on August 10th, 2024
Editor: Over the last several months, I have read in the Roast and Toasts or the editorials of the Lethbridge Herald, the pros and cons of bike paths in the down town area of Lethbridge. It is rather obvious to me that the people who submit the cons either don’t own a bike or they ... Read More »
4 responsesPathways Alliance needs to look at their policies and profits
By Lethbridge Herald on August 10th, 2024
Editor: Â Every business – whether you are a one person, home operation or a large conglomerate with 5,000 employees – needs to step back and see how what you are doing affects your family, all Albertans, Canadians and the World – yes, even the world. I remember my university professors stating that growth in business ... Read More »
