This is a note of thanks to all the staff who are employed on the second floor of the cardio wing (aka Unit 22) of the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.
Letter: UN should step in with conflict in Ukraine

Letter: UN should step in with conflict in Ukraine

Recently, Kenya’s ambassador to the UN had the wisdom to add his country’s position to the conflict between Western Europe and Russia. Essentially their Ambassador said that most African countries now appreciate foreign efforts to move them beyond their historical, linguistic, religious and cultural bonds in order to resolve conflicts over border boundaries.

Letter: Calkins should denounce illegal blockades

Letter: Calkins should denounce illegal blockades

My MP Blaine Calkins posted on Facebook on Feb. 7 at 10:10 a.m. his appointment as Chief Opposition Whip. In the comments below he receives congratulations from numerous supporters. Also in the comments, he receives a video depicting Justin Trudeau as Adolf Hitler. As of Feb. 12, this deplorable video remains on his Facebook page.

Letter: Protecting natural areas

The front page story of Feb. 15 Advocate is a sad story of altering a large land surface to suit new industrial buildings along highway frontage, plus a new residential area that will surround a 40 hectare lake.

Letter: Invest in Alberta’s health system

Letter: Invest in Alberta’s health system

During these unparalleled scary times, we’ve tried to maintain our social responsibility by staying home when possible, limiting our exposure, etc. But our medical community has not had these choices. They’ve been there; are still there, caring for us. Work shifts have been extended and mandated additional shifts have been implemented. Stress leave is increased and staff shortages are experienced, all while patient population has extended beyond capacity in our hospitals.
Letter: Trudeau wrong about freedom convoy

Letter: Trudeau wrong about freedom convoy

On Jan. 26, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau commented on the freedom convoy, that in my opinion, is protesting the vaccine mandates for not only the truckers, but Canadians in general. He pointed that, like the Canadian population, 90 per cent of all truckers are vaccinated. He missed the point of the convoy which was that the truckers were protesting blanket mandates, irrespective of whether they were vaccinated or not.
Letter: Proposed Red Deer permanent shelter location disappointing

Letter: Proposed Red Deer permanent shelter location disappointing

Why does Red Deer city council think a location for the permanent shelter two blocks from the existing shelter at Cannery Row will make any difference to the homeless issues downtown?
Letter: Bravo to Quebec premier for no-vax tax

Letter: Bravo to Quebec premier for no-vax tax

Just recently the leader of the Federal Conservatives, Erin O’Toole, said that Canadians should give a reasonable accommodation to those who are not vaccinated. This, then, is what is expected of me who has abided by all the health requirements and standards of my community.
