Letter: No one actually thinks Trump was cheated, do they?
By Letter to the Editor on January 2nd, 2021
Dear editor, I seriously doubt most of Donald Trump’s ardent supporters truly believe that, as they adamantly insist, he won the election but was cheated from his victory due to (not little but) massive electoral fraud – a claim they cannot factually support. Just the loss on its own seems to be proof enough that ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: We’re Albertans. Let’s do this ourselves
By Letter to the Editor on January 2nd, 2021
Dear editor, Why are Canadians, and in particular Albertans, wasting time and energy over who did or did not win or cheat in the U.S. presidential election? We have no input whatsoever, so who cares? Why are Albertans whining and crying about why Justin Trudeau stuck it to us again? We all know the election ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on January 2nd, 2021
RE: Dec. 26 letter to the editor ‘Look to Canada before judging the U.S.’ by Ken Pirie Dear editor, Mr. Pirie spared no effort in throwing what he hoped would be knock-out punches at the soft ‘liberal’, ‘socialist’, underbelly of Mr. (Fred) Lewis and me (in his Dec. 26 letter titled Look to Canada before ...

Be the first to comment!Letter: Trump’s pre-pandemic economic performance should earn him a ‘C’
By Letter to the Editor on December 30th, 2020
Dear editor, Supporters of Donald Trump greatly exaggerate his economic success and are blind to facts that indicate otherwise. First is the fact that Trump inherited an economy that had largely recovered from the Great Recession (2008-09) and was gaining strength. Evidence of this is the 76 months of continuous job growth in place at ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Look to Canada before judging the U.S.
By Letter to the Editor on December 26th, 2020
Dear editor, The contentious editorials authored by Messrs. Peter Mueller and Fred Lewis and published in the News on Nov. 27 warrant response. What an abomination these letters are; Canadians slandering an American President who continually demonstrates his love of country, while we in Canada are governed by a divisive, apathetic “great reset” globalist in ...

2 responsesLetter: Give Jason Kenney a break
By Letter to the Editor on December 26th, 2020
Dear editor, I have come to really admire Alberta Premier Jason Kenney. He is dealing with pandemics (COVID), crises (opioids), wars (on drugs, gangs). He is in the arena, dirty, tired and nearing exhaustion. All the while surrounded by woke whiners, naysayers, doomsday predictors, virtual reality political ideologues all criticizing from the comfort of their ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!Letter: Is Premier Kenney more Churchill or more Trump?
By Letter to the Editor on December 19th, 2020
Dear editor, Premier Kenney often speaks of his great admiration for Winston Churchill but I fear he thinks and acts too much like Donald Trump. The manner in which he has dealt with COVID does not look much like Churchill. He seems challenged to demonstrate compassion, humility, acknowledgement of error and the ability to adjust ...
