2 w. ago Letters March 31, 2025: ‘Carney isn’t walking the talk he’s spreading.’

BUY CANADIAN, CARNEY? Radio and TV ads urge Canadians to buy Canadian. Keep our money in Canada. Help Canadian businesses and stimulate the economy. So what did Mark Carney do in one of his first actions as Canada’s prime minister, before calling an election? He granted a $6-billion contract to upgrade our radar defence technology […]

2 w. ago Letters, March 30, 2025: ‘Liberals eating Conservatives’ lunch’

Tories in trouble Carney is winning because he is the true conservative. Carney takes all of the winning policies away from Poilievre and then leaves Poilievre desperate to differentiate himself with nothing but scraps of imported American culture war nonsense. The Liberals have become conservatives and the conservatives have become a bargain-bin MAGA movement, and […]

2 w. ago Letters, March 28, 2025: ‘People should listen to the news to see who is running in their riding’

Petulant attitude It’s a sad reflection on our provincial government for Premier Danielle Smith to not go to the first ministers meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney. It shows a petulant and frankly embarrassing attitude by our premier. She isn’t Team Canada, she isn’t even Team Alberta. She’s Team Danielle Smith. Maybe if she would […]

2 w. ago Letters, March 27, 2025: ‘Alberta separation is a real possibility’

Common wealth? Apparently King Charles offered the U.S. membership to the British Commonwealth and Trump said that is nice. If it’s true, Canada should withdraw from the Commonwealth and remove any semblance of our association with it. We’ve received no support from King Charles during this tariff war with the U.S. I guess the U.K., […]

3 w. ago Letters, March 25, 2025: ‘These Christmas memories hard to beat’

Department-store magic I had magical Christmases as a child. One of my most cherished memories was seeing the big department stores in downtown Calgary in the mid-1970s. Walking in never disappointed, as they decorated everything spectacularly like a Disney movie of years gone by. There was no CTrain and my aunt would take me downtown […]

3 w. ago Letters, March 24, 2025: ‘I beg all of you to vote and to be informed when you vote’

Hypocrisy at city hall I find so hypocritical that our Mayor Gondek has questions about the province’s elevated track downtown and what it would do to property taxes and businesses. Well, you need to ask yourself the same questions as the city and yourself shut down Altadore’s main street, parts of 16 Ave. N., and […]

A true Canadian would not support the destruction of one’s country, like the Liberal and NDP parties have done the past nine years.

3 w. ago Letters March 21, 2025: ‘Carney is parading around like he’s our saviour.’

Hype for nothing If one were to follow the mainstream media one would be assured the Messiah in the guise of Mark Carney had arrived and set foot in Canada. The hype is unbelievable considering that Carney has never been elected anywhere in any government position, yet he meets world leaders and even the king. […]

4 w. ago Letters March 19, 2025: ‘There is no path for Canada to become the 51st state.’

NO PATH TO 51 There’s no path for Canada to become the 51st state from the American side. Canada would be a second California with about the same population and about 50 electoral votes and about 48 seats in Congress, heavily Democrat. Republicans would never stand for that. This talk from Trump amounts to spitting […]

4 w. ago Letters March 18, 2025: ‘We deserve what we get if we elect another Liberal government.’

DESERVE WHAT WE GET We Canadians deserve all we get from Donald Trump. Here we are, nine years later, going to re-elect a party that has damaged our country maybe beyond repair. All because the same clowns who put us in this position have a new leader about whom we know little. We do know, […]

last month Letters March 17, 2025: ‘Media should be unbiased in all reporting.’

No picking a side I was thinking about the CBC, Canadian Press, Toronto Star etc that lean hard towards the left. You could argue the Sun chain of newspapers are centrist- right leaning. If it’s an opinion piece or editorial, that’s fine. But, I think journalists reporting the news should be vetted like a jury […]
