2 responsesLetter contained inaccuracies about Canada’s Prime Minister
By Lethbridge Herald on April 21st, 2022
Editor: Mr. Yeoman wrote that Prime Minister Trudeau did not get a good reception to his recent speech to the European Parliament – in fact even that “outspoken parliamentarians denounced him.” This is opposite to the truth. It was reported that he got a standing ovation and the couple of detractors were political extremists upset ... Read More »
31 responsesJustin Trudeau is not a dictator, contrary to the opinion of writer
By Lethbridge Herald on April 21st, 2022
Editor: The April 6 letter from Tom Yeoman defending Rachael Thomas demands an immediate response. Although Justin Trudeau has made a lot of mistakes, he is not a dictator. It is offensive to use that term when the world is focusing on the conduct of Vladimir Putin. Trudeau has not silenced the media, has not ... Read More »
16 responsesFederal budget will benefit all Albertans
By Lethbridge Herald on April 20th, 2022
Editor: Recently, our federal Liberal government announced the 2022 budget, investing heavily in our economic growth. The budget is ambitious, yet realistic, in how it endeavours to move Canada beyond the unpredictability of the previous two years.

4 responsesThe numbers don’t lie
By Lethbridge Herald on April 13th, 2022
Editor: A recent letter to the Editor praised Rachael Thomas for “proving” that Trudeau was a “dictator.” A few days later, another writer proved that Ms. Thomas does not understand the definition of “dictator”. The letter of praise identifies any person who disagrees with Ms. Thomas as “thin-skinned”. I would suggest that the supporters of ... Read More »

Editor: Regarding the Guest Column of April 7, 2022, by the Minister of Environment and Parks, the Hon. Jason Nixon. Headlined: “Alberta won’t accept production cuts in climate plan” My first question is this – Is the Honourable Minister of Environment and Parks not responsible for protecting and defending the environment and parks for Albertans? ...

3 responsesWord choice in Herald poll about Trudeau deserves condemnation
By Lethbridge Herald on April 9th, 2022
Editor: One might criticize the Herald’s recent poll asking if Prime Minister Trudeau should be considered a dictator with words like “dismay” or “disappointment” but that would be too soft. The poll deserves condemnation as it stands and was made worse when the word “dictator” was not placed in quotation marks to denote its original ... Read More »
12 responsesYeoman was right
By Lethbridge Herald on April 9th, 2022
Editor: A big toast to Tom Yeoman regarding his letter in the Herald dated April 6. His letter expressed very eloquently my take on what is happening in Ottawa – a view that is shared by the vast majority in my circle. We have seen what the man from Ottawa and his clique have accomplished ... Read More »
14 responsesMP Thomas not accurate
By Lethbridge Herald on April 7th, 2022
Editor: Recently Rachael Thomas read out to Parliament, the definition of the term dictator. The definition stated that a dictator obtains absolute power over a country by force. Ms. Thomas then goes on to draw the conclusion, based on this definition, that Mr. Trudeau is a dictator, and that “many Canadians” believe he is a ... Read More »
20 responsesThe criticisms of Canada’s prime minister justified
By Lethbridge Herald on April 6th, 2022
Editor: “Politics is full of children,” veteran British PM Margaret Thatcher once quipped. We’ve just seen some really thin-skinned ones overreact (April 1) to a retweeted criticism of Justin Trudeau by our MP Rachael Thomas. The tweet itself, by EU Parliamentarian Mislav Kolakuši, is deadly accurate. “Dictator”?! Let the Liberals recoil! Yet Trudeau himself told ... Read More »
