Letters

I am writing this letter as a previous owner of the Arlington, Inn for seven years, beginning in 1997.

I am dismayed and disappointed to find that our minister of health is planning to bring into effect a new method for the purchasing of pharmaceuticals for seniors, over the age of 65 years.

This was supposed to be a humorous article, but we find it to be uneducated comment and not real humour.

So the provincial government has now spiked the gas rebate.First it was the seniors’ increase in income tax and then, the biggest shock of all, the increased cost of medications.

Canadian wildlife officers poisoning wild animals, in Alberta? And I thought Sarah Palin’s project of aerial shooting of wolves was shocking! The Fish and Wildlife officer said that wolves have been in the area for 20 to 30 years?

Well, minor hockey is over for another year. I know I am going to miss watching our grandson and his friends play.

I am utterly appalled that a news story headlined Radical changes coming to school, which included a very damaging figure, was deemed worthy of the Advocate’s front page on March 12.

I am writing in response to the Advocate’s Feb. 18 story, headlined Seniors concerned, about proposed changes to drug plan coverage for Alberta seniors.

On Feb. 7, I was skating at Bower Ponds and I fell and broke my ankle.

The recent death of a seven-year-old boy south of Calgary saddened me, as this death was entirely preventable. My belief is that confusion surrounding bylaws within differing municipalities is partly to blame.
