20 h. 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 […]

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 […]

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., […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

1 week ago 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 […]

Mark Blarney’s bedtime stories Although my family landed in Canada in 1842, our heritage dates all the way back to ninth-century Ireland. Over those centuries, Irish folklore and fantasy storytelling found itself brethren to outright blarney at times. I am reminded of this when I hear the Irish citizen, Mark “Blarney” Carney, eloquently navigating around […]
