Letting people break the law is bad for the future
By Letter to the Editor on March 3rd, 2020
I just had the word “anarchy” used in the same sentence with hereditary chiefs and railroad blockades. I confirmed the definition with Wikipedia. So, the question that comes to mind is: Do the chiefs and their followers truly believe in lawlessness just for themselves and their pet ideas or do they believe that all of ... Read More »
1 responseConservatives are in crisis, not Canada
By Letter to the Editor on February 29th, 2020
I have read the document called the Buffalo Declaration by its authors and by its supporters. It is a document of anger. The anger is based on Conservatives’ hatred of Pierre Trudeau’s 1981 National Energy Program, which, it is argued in the document, has been a large part of a historical, deliberate and concerted plan ...

4 responsesBlockades appear to be non-sensical
By Letter to the Editor on February 29th, 2020
There is much stress, angst and economic impact (loss of $150 million/day) over the blockades across the country in support of the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs. However, the more I learn the more nonsensical it appears. a) Hereditary chiefs. The number and legitimacy of the hereditary chiefs is unclear. There are assumed to be 13 positions ... Read More »
1 responseNot a time for relativistic pandering
By Letter to the Editor on February 29th, 2020
Re: “What comes next can’t be arrested away” Feb. 22 It’s disappointing that the writer quickly rising in province-wide notoriety for his tacit regurgitation of left-wing opinion won’t take a side in the illegal rail blockades. I guess arresting non-Indigenous anarchists seizing on the opportunity of gaining a little fame and notoriety by riding the ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Left-leaning agendas worsening issues in education
By Letter to the Editor on February 29th, 2020
Once again teachers across Alberta and Saskatchewan are demanding that governments spend more to improve classroom conditions. The diversity within individual classrooms is staggering. Add to that the increased stresses of having teachers become the solution to every moral issue in society and you make teaching a nearly impossible task. Too much time is spent ... Read More »
1 responsePromises not kept
By Letter to the Editor on February 29th, 2020
It’s not just public sector workers who are being harmed by Jason Kenney’s government. Almost all Albertans are. We learned recently that the UCP is cutting drug coverage for over 46,000 Albertans, AISH benefits for 67,000 Albertans, and income support for 60,000 Albertans. Almost all Albertans will pay more income tax, parents will pay more ... Read More »
2 responsesMore questions than answers in Buffalo Declaration
By Letter to the Editor on February 29th, 2020
The Buffalo Declaration raises more questions than can be answered in Canada’s current climate of extreme political correctness. First and foremost, why have only four of Alberta’s 33 federal Conservative MPs signed up for this dangerous and revolutionary document? My guess is that it is too politically incorrect for our weakling Conservative Party of Canada. ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Holding the country for ransom
By Letter to the Editor on February 29th, 2020
At what point will folks who ought to know better, like for example our prime minister, learn again that appeasement only leads to “Hey…it works…let’s do it again…ask for even more” or another prime minister of now some years ago, a Mr. Chamberlain, waving something signed by you know who (or have you forgotten that ...

Be the first to comment!Something missing in MLA Report from Drew Barnes
By Letter to the Editor on February 28th, 2020
Drew Barnes’ MLA Report fails to mention that the UCP provincial corporate tax reduction program implemented last summer has not brought any new jobs to Alberta. A further corporate tax reduction is planned for 2020. The reduction of corporate tax income is not proving beneficial to Albertans, and is in fact increasing our tax burden ... Read More »
1 responseAt least Klein sold oil and gas
By Letter to the Editor on February 28th, 2020
Wow, I thought Alison Redford was a cold-hearted harridan; she has nothing on Jason Kenney. Taking money from disadvantaged Albertan’s (CORE) and giving it to an inept, corpulent group of public relations cronies (war room) is heartless and unforgiving. This is the same man who saying he will proudly sell Alberta’s last barrel of oil ... Read More »
3 responsesPlenty of lessons to be learned from speaking with elders
By Letter to the Editor on February 27th, 2020
To speak to the elderly is an opportunity, an honour and a joy. To God and these people, we owe almost everything. They remain the eyewitnesses to history. Without exception, all of the elders I have spoken with are or were proud, grateful Canadians. When I asked how crazy, evil governments took over their home ... Read More »
