6 d. ago Letters, Nov. 29, 2025: ‘No Flames shouldn’t throw in the towel!’

Thanks, but no tanks Cheering for your team to lose is bad sportsmanship. Just getting a No.-1 pick does not guarantee a winner. It would be nice to have a superstar on the ice but, face it, Edmonton has had numerous high picks over the last 30 years and exactly the same number of Stanley […]

Nice Christmas gift There is no veto in the agreement but there is a requirement for consultation in the Asia-Alberta pipeline to Prince Rupert, B.C. Every Canadian should understand this pipeline is “approved” subject to the most advanced environmental carbon capture technology in the world — which Alberta has no problem with — and private […]

1 week ago Letters, Nov. 25, 2025: ‘The spectre of raising the current legal speed limit is a recipe for even more carnage’

Not so fast So the Alberta government is giving consideration to increasing the speed limit on certain divided highways from 110 km/h to 120 km/h, ostensibly because these highways were actually designed to safely accommodate a higher speed and so would lessen the frustration of many drivers who are in a hurry to get somewhere.

1 week ago Letters, Nov. 24, 2025: ‘Survey showed education system in crisis’

Survey says The provincial government now recognizes class size and complexity ‘Crisis Mode’ (Calgary Sun, Saturday). This was done after teachers did a survey this week and the government received the results. I’m wondering if the teacher’s strike and government using the notwithstanding clause could’ve all been avoided if the government and the teachers got […]

Wrong on rezoning (Re: ‘HILL and THOMPSON – Calgary mayor should retain blanket rezoning for sake of Calgarian families,’ calgarysun.com.) Under blanket rezoning, builders can respond directly to preferences of Calgarians as to type of houses constructed, according to the article. Independent builders have been scooping up properties in established neighbourhoods and putting two rowhouses […]

Sleeping giant is up Lest they awake the sleeping giant. Yes, the federal Liberal government has finally made the citizens of Alberta mad enough to actually want to leave Canada for good. When this happens, the U.S.A. will immediately recognize Alberta as a free and sovereign state and prevent any coup by Canada. The federal […]

Oil business reality (Re: ‘Oil’s not well,’ Letters to the Editor, Calgary Sun, Friday, Nov. 14.) The letter-writer, as well as most Albertans, seem to be unaware of the fact that OPEC, including the UAE, produces much less oil than it can — something in the order of 5 million barrels a day. Maybe Ms. […]

What’s with WestJet? When we retired and moved back from the U.S. in 2006, we had to get new credit cards and was advised by my brother in Calgary that the best one was RBC’s WestJet Mastercard. He was correct, it was a really great card. This year, WestJet changed from WestJet dollars to the […]

3 w. ago Letters, Nov. 13, 2025: This ‘may be the beginning of the end of Canada’

Let the man work I read the article putting down Carney for apologizing to Trump. I can see why, and, if the author who wrote the editorial actually had been observant, he/she would know also. Trump is an unstable egomaniac who retaliates if his little feelings get hurt. Carney tried to smooth over Trump and […]

Canada in Twilight Zone One of the scariest Twilight Zone episodes called “It’s a Good Life” featured a six-year-old boy named Anthony Fremont who terrorized a town with psychic powers (or “Q” like powers for Star Trek fans). All the adults in the episode lived in fear of the little boy as he could punish […]

Clause for concern The government either is unable to read the room or are just too stubborn to admit it. They are being played for fools and should immediately eat the crow and rescind the notwithstanding clause and the back-to-work orders given to the teachers. That would put the onus back on the teachers union […]

Shameful act MP Chris D’entremont of Halifax crossed the floor in the House of Commons, moving from the official opposition Conservatives over to the Liberal party. He claims his motive is he disagrees with Pierre Polievre’s leadership and policies. I find it curious he chose to make this move right now, just after we finally […]
