Be the first to comment!Letter was not advocating ‘culling’ deer
By Letter to the Editor on May 22nd, 2020
Re: John Nightingale’s May 13 response to my April 30 letter to the editor entitled “Deer can also pose a contagious disease danger.” Nowhere in my letter did I state “to cull the herd.” In Mr. Nightingale’s letter, four times he falsely attributes “cull” and “culling” to my article. The only reference I made to ... Read More »
3 responsesDoctors’ pay scale needs restructuring
By Letter to the Editor on May 21st, 2020
A restructuring of our doctors’ pay scale is essential as what we have is not sustainable. Our doctors are the highest paid in all of Canada, and gobble up 30 per cent of our budget!

The Herald published three Canadian Press articles on Dec. 18 emphasizing a need to act on the so-called “existential threat” to our planet posed by the “climate crisis.” Mia Rabson, one of the writers, asserted: “A decade ago, climate change was more academic than reality, but in recent years few Canadians haven’t been touched directly ...

Be the first to comment!Obama’s support revived Liberal campaign
By Lethbridge Herald on November 22nd, 2019
In support of “Didn’t Obama mingle in Canada’s election?” I think he meant meddle! It was proven that Obama’s endorsement five days before the election had an immediate and huge upward effect on the polling of Justin Trudeau. Liberals were tanking and immediately after Obama’s endorsement, Obama’s comment was retweeted a few hundred thousand times, ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on June 25th, 2019
Many pro-life groups fought hard to get the movie “Unplanned” to be shown in Canada, writing letters, petitions, phone calls to government MPs and distributors, etc. and finally success!

She pledged that Canada would accept 100,000 of the so-called “Boat People.” Canada made me proud. Compared to the most recent offer ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!Treated like modern-day ‘lepers’
By Lethbridge Herald on June 18th, 2019
The recent letter and online comment regarding our plague of opioids as experienced locally exposes the reader to the human and darker side of current public perception. Not for the first time, debate generated more heat than light. This left me troubled. We can agree that it is a problem which appears intractable with no ... Read More »
