Letter to the Editor

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

We moved to Erin Ridge this year and were surprised to see that most of Ted Hole Park is an unfenced off-leash area, even though it has several exits onto busy Erin Ridge Drive.

To some of the dog owners in St. Albert, I get it. Picking up after your dog is icky and unpleasant. If you are one of those who leave it behind, know that it is also icky and unpleasant if one steps on your dog poop.

I would like to know who or what was the driver for this initiative. As far as I am aware, the memorials that are in place were dedicated either by family or staff who were close to the person, as is the case for the two staff trees at Ronald Harvey.

This is in response to the article by Kevin Ma, Aug. 31 edition.I believe we should have memorials of all genres in our schools, parks and public places. They can promote awareness, foster discussion and help those affected to process and heal.
