Does Alberta need a high-speed rail line? Vote in our daily poll! I am looking forward to a revival of the CFL this year with all of the newfound patriotism. All stadiums should be full to capacity, and no watching the NFL, especially if you voted Liberal. Could anyone in Toronto tell you who won […]

TIME FOR A CHANGE  Re “Fear major motivator steering Canada toward disastrous 4th Liberal term, poll shows” (Lorne Gunter, April 20): Gunter says fear is a lousy reason to vote for any party. Frank Sinatra, ‘Chairman of the Board,’ told us: “Fear is the enemy of logic.” My ‘seniors’ cohort listens to the former chairman […]

Troubled adult In response to Abram Wiebe’s “Problem Child” letter, my question to him is: is he aware of the amount of transfer payments that Alberta blows to the provinces of Ontario and Quebec? If Alberta could keep the billions and billions that is sent east, then perhaps our government would not have monster deficits. […]

54 h. 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 […]

7 d. ago Letters April 17, 2025: ‘Voters need to see that Carney isn’t the right way to vote.’

Think on it a little longer If so many Canadians detest and distrust Donald Trump, then why on Earth would so many voters (as reported in so many polls) be considering casting their vote for Mark Carney, if he is Trump’s preferred choice for Prime Minister? I doubt that they’ve thought this through. Ken Pelland […]

8 d. ago Letters April 16, 2025: ‘Carney isn’t in this to bring anything new to Canada’

Why now? Carney’s platform consists mainly of addressing externally forced issues such as tariffs and NATO, copied and borrowed Conservative planks like affordability, and continuation of prior Liberal policies such as no pipelines and emissions caps. There is nothing original in his platform and there is nothing or nobody original in his party. Why would […]

Have you had a run-in with a coyote? Vote in our daily poll!
