Letter: Get out and use your vote
By Letter to the Editor on September 15th, 2021

By Letter to the Editor on September 10th, 2021
Dear editor, Dr. Daniel Schnee really hit the nail on the head with his column “Learn to speak English!” I am an English speaker with a smattering of high school French. I have often thought how difficult it must be for immigrants who come to this country, assimilate and work successfully. I admire anyone who ... Read More »

3 responsesLetter: It may look bad, but it’s cost-effective
By Letter to the Editor on September 8th, 2021
Dear editor, I don’t often agree with anything the UCP government does, but paying people $100 to get a vaccine a shot is a quick way to do it. If it works, good. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t cost that much money. It may look bad, but if the person doesn’t get vaccinated, gets COVID, ... Read More »

1 responseLetter: Can’t ignore what Hinman’s policies would do to seniors
By Letter to the Editor on August 27th, 2021
Dear editor, Once again the conservative seniors in our circle of friends find a defeated Reformer in Paul Hinman still trying to promote his lame-brain policies upon the people, ignoring what they will do to us seniors.

By Letter to the Editor on August 27th, 2021
Dear editor, With the “snap election” coming up in September, I thought like any good employer (and yes, I am one of his many Canadian employers), I’d do a job review to see if I’d want to rehire Justin Trudeau. Here we go: – You blew the Asia Pacific deal. – You blew the helicopter ... Read More »
