Trudeau action needed now on Canada-China canola dispute
By Letter to the Editor on March 14th, 2019
Recently, the Chinese government cancelled the canola import permit for one of Canada’s largest grain processors, Winnipeg-based Richardson International, citing insect infestation concerns. Conservatives know that the issue at hand is not Canada’s canola product. Canada produces the best canola in the world. Rather, this calls into question Justin Trudeau’s ongoing failure to handle Canada’s ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Main beef is with the courts and Canadian laws
By Letter to the Editor on March 13th, 2019
Re: “Outraged by treatment of Khadr,” Feb. 9 Shawna Robinson should have read my letter about Omar Khadr more carefully before criticizing it. Then maybe she would have understood it. I was not assigning blame when referring to his problems with the federal government, although a suspicious person could have thought so. I was merely ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Is Canada playing institutional victim games with Albertans?
By Letter to the Editor on March 13th, 2019
Just the other day, I was re-reading a very old self-help book that I keep for bathroom reading. I started to read the section called “Some Common Institutional Victim Games” and quickly realized that this entire section could easily apply to us, Albertans, today. Three “victim games,” really stuck out: 1. Making the institution (Canada) ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on March 13th, 2019
Re: “Climate talk should be left to real science,” March 9 David Gue believes “Real science does not begin with statements in the Bible” He’s right; real science was created by God long before He inspired righteous men to write His Bible. However, there is a price for not believing the Bible and its Gospel ... Read More »
3 responsesHead-scratching moment at SNC-Lavalin inquiry
By Letter to the Editor on March 12th, 2019
Jody Wilson-Raybould was pressured by the PMO, which the Liberal den of iniquity have been denying since the beginning. Clerk of the Privy Council Wernick just stated it was “lawful advocacy” as opposed to “inappropriate pressure”. Wernick must be a lawyer. The previously above-reproach conduct of Canada’s top public servants has now been called into ... Read More »
1 responseTrudeau deserves criticism, but some praise, too
By Letter to the Editor on March 9th, 2019
Sort of nice to see that someone other than President Donald Trump is getting into the news on a daily basis. The main (only?) reason that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants a sweetheart deal for SNC-Lavalin is to protect jobs in Canada. Gerald Butts says the number is 7,000. I personally don’t remember believing anything ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Climate talk should be left to real science
By Letter to the Editor on March 9th, 2019
Re: “Climate alarmism abuses science,” Feb. 26 Lynn Thacker rightly objects to “junk science” being used to sell ideas – about climate change or anything else. Unfortunately, Thacker fails to give any tests for sorting real science from the junk. I propose a Consumer’s Guide to Identifying Real Science. It is a simple scorecard which ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Krause presented credible information
By Letter to the Editor on March 7th, 2019
Re: “Vivian Krause headlines fundraiser for Barnes,” March 1 The article spent more time challenging her credibility, than actually commenting on the content of her presentation. It should come as no surprise that industry groups, affected by what she has discovered, would pay to hear her speak. If an environmentalist group pays someone like Dr. ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Not everyone is in agreement on the use of glyphosate
By Letter to the Editor on March 6th, 2019
A recent news release by WCWGA (Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association) expressed their extreme pleasure with the latest report from Health Canada about glyphosate. Apparently, Health Canada’s scientific reviewers have, once again cleared glyphosate for use in Canada. Â WCWGA and many other farm groups and many scientists have long spoken out that glyphosate is safe ... Read More »
1 responseWhich outlets should be trusted for the facts?
By Letter to the Editor on March 6th, 2019
Re: “Media content with just the facts, opinion omitted, would be ideal,” Feb. 23 I share Leath Johnston’s concern about separating factual reporting from opinion and bias. I cannot endorse his proposals for resolving this challenge. Two themes of his letter are particularly problematic. First, I am baffled by Johnston’s enthusiasm for the YouTube channel ...

By Letter to the Editor on March 5th, 2019
Re: “Follow the global warming science,” Feb. 8 I was very glad to see the letter submitted by Lynn Thacker concerning climate change and ice ages. I too have been thinking about the ice ages that the northern hemisphere has experienced. I would definitely call that climate change and have been wondering what caused them. ... Read More »
