Promises 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 responsesHolding 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!More 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!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 »
Be the first to comment!We should all wonder about the next election
By Letter to the Editor on February 26th, 2020
Re: “What will it take for Albertans to be concerned?,” Feb. 10 I read the letter to the editor and want say there are likely very many Albertans who feel very much like Lester Landry does. I agree with everything in his letter including when he wonders how anyone can “go to church on Sunday ... Read More »
2 responsesBlockades a perfect distraction for Kenney, UCP
By Letter to the Editor on February 26th, 2020
Don’t follow the distraction by Energy Minister Sonya Savage that Alberta’s war room is under attack by organized activists and “green left.” This message was very intentional and is a smoke and mirrors puppet show they want people to follow. First, the war room has nothing to do with oil and gas, it is a ... Read More »
6 responsesSprinklers raise questions about city management
By Letter to the Editor on February 26th, 2020
The recent news on the Coulee Ridge development makes you question on how well the city is being managed. The reasoning for the subsidy of sprinklers is that the development is to far from existing fire stations which cost over $16 million to construct with the justification of better response time. This seems to be ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!One good thing for Alberta
By Letter to the Editor on February 25th, 2020
In response to the question in the Feb. 20 Ticked Off and Tickled Pink column, one thing the Kenney government has done to benefit Albertans can be summed up in these three words: They got elected. G.H. Anderson Medicine Hat... Read More »
2 responsesThe squeaky Quebec wheel gets the grease yet again
By Letter to the Editor on February 25th, 2020
I hate to be smug, but isn’t it rather nice to see Via Passenger Rail Service halted in Central Canada? What a hue and cry from those poor souls that are affected! Welcome to life on the southern Prairies for the past 50 years. CP Rail was given every other 1/4 section of land across ... Read More »
