45 h. ago Letters, July 19, 2025: ‘Our power grid not ready for crush of electric vehicles’

Power surge It will be interesting to see how the power grid will function when millions of vehicles are being charged and the air conditioning is running. Brownouts will be the norm and the amount of hydro you are allowed to use daily will be regulated. Time to flip the switch. WAYNE ASHTON (The Liberals’ […]

3 d. ago Letters July 17, 2025: ‘Greta is doing good work and should be acknowledged for it.’

  GRETA DOING GOOD WORK I have been following Greta Thunberg since she started her crusade. She began at a young age and now has grown into a woman. I think all of us should be grateful that there is a young lady who is willing to fight for the environment. Instead of attacking this […]

Not so fast I need every Albertan to hear me when I say, federal income tax and transfer payments to the government are THE SAME THING. The province of Alberta does NOT sit down at the end of the year and write a cheque to the federal government. That’s not a thing. It’s not. Like […]
