47 h. ago Letters: Will Premier Smith reverse Alberta’s recall legislation?

What should the old Royal Alberta Museum site be used for? Vote in our daily poll! In 1937, William Aberhart faced a recall push, as his riding had collected enough signatures to force a byelection. He had come up with the magic percentage number that these voters had achieved in collecting signatures. To save the […]

7 d. ago Letters, Nov. 28, 2025: ‘Carney’s Christmas present to Alberta and Canada’

Nice Christmas gift There is no veto in the agreement but there is a requirement for consultation in the Asia-Alberta pipeline to Prince Rupert, B.C. Every Canadian should understand this pipeline is “approved” subject to the most advanced environmental carbon capture technology in the world — which Alberta has no problem with — and private […]

1 week ago Letters: Alberta’s use of notwithstanding clause subverts debate

Does Alberta need more teachers? Vote in our daily poll! What a steaming heap of political posturing/fence-sitting Lorne Gunter delivered in his column today regarding Smith’s use of the notwithstanding clause. While he isn’t “completely in line” with the UCP on transgender laws, he’s “not vehemently opposed” to them either. That much wriggling while sitting […]

2 w. ago Opinion: Give frontline workers more help dealing with Alberta's drug crisis

The drug-poisoning crisis in Alberta continues unabated, after nearly a decade of record numbers of deaths. Fatalities are the most tragic and visible consequence, but the prevalence of a toxic drug supply also creates ripple effects that impact families, communities, and the health-care workers who seek to mitigate harm, provide care, save lives, and assist […]

Oil business reality (Re: ‘Oil’s not well,’ Letters to the Editor, Calgary Sun, Friday, Nov. 14.) The letter-writer, as well as most Albertans, seem to be unaware of the fact that OPEC, including the UAE, produces much less oil than it can — something in the order of 5 million barrels a day. Maybe Ms. […]

2 w. ago Letters: Raising speed limits on Alberta highways a recipe for disaster

What is an appropriate speed limit for the QEII? Vote in our daily poll Raising speed limits in Alberta is a bad idea. There are already too many cars and big trucks fighting for every available inch of pavement. Most drivers are reaching the limit of their skill levels when driving at 110 km/h as […]

3 w. ago Letters, Nov. 8, 2025: ‘Alberta government missing the signs’

Clause for concern The government either is unable to read the room or are just too stubborn to admit it. They are being played for fools and should immediately eat the crow and rescind the notwithstanding clause and the back-to-work orders given to the teachers. That would put the onus back on the teachers union […]

last month Wednesday's letters: Revoking rights is most scary for Albertans

Once again, Malcolm Mayes’ stunning narrowness of vision and political biases are on display in his Friday, Oct. 31 cartoon. He identifies the Carney budget, the Liberal deficits, and the U.S. tariffs as the monsters which make the couple too afraid to open their door. I suggest an addition to the monster lineup: a witch […]
