By Letter to the Editor on October 12th, 2022

Even for me, a longtime critic and disparager of all things Kenney, I found the article a withering death sentence, not just for his career, but also for the party he created. The author, a ...

By Letter to the Editor on September 29th, 2022
Dear editor, You would think these phony Conservatives, Reformers had cost Albertans enough, yet we still see many of our fellow seniors believing every lie they feed them, while they continue to help the rich steal our oil and tax wealth, in an attempt to buy votes.

4 responsesLetter: Local traffic commentary from a self labelled ‘grumpy old man’
By Letter to the Editor on September 29th, 2022
Dear Editor, I am very pleased to see the right-hand lane at the bottom of Dunmore Hill may soon require those not turning right against a red light to use the other lane.

In response to Marty Malmgren’s July 13 letter to the editor. Dear editor, I would like to point out a few misleading arguments, hysterical language and downright misinformation.
