Letter: 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. How many seniors are going to be willing to give up their Old Age Security payments, Canada Pension ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: A job review of Justin Trudeau heading into September’s ‘snap election’
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 »

By Letter to the Editor on August 20th, 2021
Dear editor, “I feel I am downtrodden,” I told my wife over breakfast the other day. “What do you mean?” she inquired. That opened the door. For 17 months we have followed the rules: we have isolated, sanitized, washed our hands raw, social distanced, worn masks and have been double vaccinated. We’ve gone without concerts, ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on August 20th, 2021
Dear editor, The 2021/2021 Olympics has been over for a few weeks. During these tough COVID-19 times, perhaps we should reflect on the gems of positivity in what may feel like a field of negatives. Two such gems have been the superstar runner, Sage Watson, and the internationally recognized commentator, Mark Sakamoto – both from ... Read More »

2 responsesLetter: Alberta needs a party to go ‘Fair Deal’ all the way
By Letter to the Editor on August 20th, 2021
Dear editor, There is a move afoot in the Cypress-Medicine Hat UCP constituency office and I dare say other constituencies around our province to kickstart fundraising efforts for the purpose of raising awareness through advertising for a strong “yes” vote in the upcoming referendum on equalization. I totally support promoting the referendum, however I believe ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on August 20th, 2021
Dear editor, Times are what they are but could be worse. The pandemic seems to be entering its fourth wave. Our nurses are undervalued and are picketing. The smoke from the forest fires makes me carry my inhaler everywhere. The drug overdoses have reached an all time high. To me however, I am always surprised ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Why fear a COVID-19 vaccine?
By Letter to the Editor on August 19th, 2021
Dear editor I don’t quite get it, well maybe I do somewhat.

When the vaccine ... Read More »
