Be the first to comment!Police should make public cause of cycling collisions
By Letter to the Editor on June 25th, 2018
“Ignorance is bliss” — except in the case of cycling collisions. For the sake of both auto drivers and cyclists, the police department has to begin informing the public of the circumstances that resulted in the collision — what was the cause of the collision. Accidents don’t just happened, they are caused. If both drivers ... Read More »
2 responsesIs law requiring youth to wear bike helmets still in existence?
By Letter to the Editor on June 25th, 2018
Perhaps someone in authority could enlighten me. Has the law regarding people under 18 wearing an approved cycle helmet been rescinded? If it is still in effect why do I see so many kids in Redcliff without them? Maybe the RCMP should wait outside the four schools and when they spot one of these kids, ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!American evangelicals ‘messed up’ as they ‘worship’ Donald Trump
By Letter to the Editor on June 21st, 2018
“A great personality and very smart, good combination”; A very talented man”; “He loves his country very much”; “A worthy negotiator”; “They have great beaches, whenever they’re exploding their cannons into the ocean, I say, ‘Boy, look at that view, wouldn’t that make a great condo?'” It’s a testament to how utterly messed up American ...
