Letters

Children loved going to the malls on Halloween – all dressed up and warm. However, only one mall was open this year and only for a couple of hours. The other mall remained closed but they are open when they can make money. Who made those decisions? Go figure!

The following letter was submitted by Jason Peck, Red Deer County, written by his late uncle. It was originally written in 1991.

Small towns are under appreciated; more accurately, stories about small towns and their inhabitants are under appreciated and glossed over by ‘big city’ folks.

I see we have elected a councillor left over from the P.C. party to city council.

Red Deer city councillors are exempt from COVID vaccinations. It was very disappointing to read about this exemption in the Oct 26 edition of the Advocate.

Red Deer city councillor Victor Doerksen says that the city should remove its mandatory vaccine policy for staff because both vaccinated and unvaccinated people can spread COVID. This is true, but grossly misleading.

It is unfortunate that the city mandate for vaccination does not apply to city council.

Premier Jason Kenney, how in the world can you be so out of touch with “your” Albertans.

The recent Advocate web poll shows that respondents are almost equally divided on the question, “Are you happy with the municipal election results.” Unfortunately, this division is already visible.

Walk softly and ponder deeply.
