Mortgage 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.

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 »

By Letter to the Editor on September 9th, 2021
Editor: Kenney’s come out of hiding! After weeks of silence he’s finally emerged guns a-blazing, backing advice given to him by Dr. Hinshaw, who has the worst record of any Provincial health officer in Canada.

Be the first to comment!Lethbridge a dumping ground
By Letter to the Editor on September 9th, 2021
Editor: As our group sat and discussed the current state of Lethbridge streets, we all agreed it is now the dumping ground for other cities and communities.

Be the first to comment!Where’s the logic in using a de-wormer instead of a vaccine?
By Lethbridge Herald on September 4th, 2021
Editor: It must be me? I generally understood the “them against us” attitude of those who did not want to take a “hastily approved” COVID shot! I do not agree with their logic but thats what makes life – difference of opinion. So a group of people who oppose taking this “hastily approved” COVID shot ... Read More »
26 responsesVaccine passport won’t stop the spread of COVID-19
By Lethbridge Herald on September 3rd, 2021
Editor: The vaccine passport was hailed as an effective assurance that its bearer had been vaccinated, and could neither contract nor spread COVID-19. But as mRNA vaccines increasingly fail as a shield against COVID, a passport system based on vaccination status can’t ensure COVID won’t spread further. The State of Israel, which intended to reopen ... Read More »
