If Alberta could keep the billions and billions that is sent east, then perhaps our government would not have monster deficits. […]

4 d. ago Letters, April 22, 2025: ‘Remember the party that brought this country to immense discomfort’

History lesson One advantage of choosing print over TV news some 40 years ago, because I wanted more than 30-to 90-second sensationalized sound bites, is an improved recall of current and historical events. When Mr. Carney introduced his Soviet-style rental housing plan, strong feelings of deja vu ensued. It stank of the recent Trudeau waste […]

There is nothing original in his platform and there is nothing or nobody original in his party. Why would […]
