Letter to the Editor

I am a resident of St. Albert for over 50 years but, not in the Grandin Neighborhood. I'm pretty certain that Grandin residents are concerned about the almost certain possibility that their neighbourhood and street names will be changed.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has decided our children need protecting from what were existing transgender policies. She must not have been aware that these minors were already protected. They were protected by their parents and their doctors.

If you say it quickly maybe that number doesn't sound as big as it really is. But the fact remains that it is 16.6 million of our tax dollars that the majority of city councillors have voted to spend on Millenium Park.

The Alberta government recently proclaimed that it will be banning photo radar ‘fishing holes’ on ring roads in Edmonton and Calgary starting Dec. 1st.

As if Premier Danielle Smith hasn’t wasted enough of our tax dollars on her ridiculous ad campaign against the federal government I now see that she is about to fly over to Dubai to attend the COP28 conference.

I would like to express my thank you to Mr. Nolan Crouse, former St. Albert mayor, for his commentary written about artificial intelligence (AI) of the role they might play in the truth of journalism’s future.

I read with interest the headline “Disability advocate issues challenge to council” and I was struck by the ableism in the response from Will Steblyk, manager of St. Albert Transit.

This past weekend our young little dog ingested the butt end of a marijuana cigarette while out on a walk. The same happened to our neighbour's little dog a few weeks ago. Please do not throw your butt ends on the ground.

Realistically speaking, council has to start thinking small

'Tis the season to spread joy
