1 responseLetter: Alberta needs to start skating to where the puck is going
By Letter to the Editor on January 12th, 2023
Dear editor, Premier Smith and her Ministers are accusing Trudeau of wanting to end oil and gas jobs in Alberta. They neglect to mention that’s been happening for years due to automation, which EY Canada says could continue to remove another 30% of jobs in oil and gas by 2030. Nor does the premier or ...

1 responseLetter: Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
By Letter to the Editor on January 10th, 2023
Dear editor, Remember that proverb, homily, saying? Angels? It is said that they are the embodiment of wisdom, caution, prudence, justice, mercy; a higher calling. Does one have to believe such spirits, such beings, exist? No, one doesn’t. Yet almost all major religious scriptures, not Christian only, refer to these mysterious, unseen beings from another ...

By Letter to the Editor on December 14th, 2022
Dear editor, In response to the UCP’s proposed Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act.

1 responseLetter: No scientists are citing single storms as proof climate is changing
By Letter to the Editor on December 14th, 2022
Dear editor, Dr. Daniel Schnee’s column “Climate reparations” in the Dec. 7 News is misleading readers about the work of climate scientists.

1 responseLetter: Choose to act as responsible adults
By Letter to the Editor on December 8th, 2022
Dear editor, I totally agree with Mr. Bahnmiller’s Dec. 6 letter, the MLAs that followed Danielle Smith succeeded in still getting paid by us, the Alberta taxpayer. The taxpayer got stuck paying for someone in a party they did not vote for. Danielle Smith is premier, but not because of a democratic majority vote by ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Are governments elected by us actually for us?
By Letter to the Editor on December 7th, 2022

By Letter to the Editor on December 6th, 2022
Dear editor, An open letter to UCP MLAs: There was once an officer who was known throughout the military for his utter incompetence.
