Saturday’s letters: City of Edmonton unprepared for snowstorm

Article content

The city knows that the storm is coming. They warn everyone. So why all the accidents, chaos and traffic roars happen? Why did my family and grandchildren have to spend two and a half hours driving home on Fox Drive and Whitemud Drive, and that would be a 10-minute home?

Why? Because no one is responsible. The Sand truck was obviously unable to even manipulate, losing control, not to mention all the buses and cars. This is the story of the entire city. However, I had some salty and polished roads on my way back to North Edmonton and the trip home went smoothly. Why do we have to always remind city employees that we are a winter city and they need to be proactive and protect us? Why is this a constant battle?

Not only is it time to vote for helpless MPs, but also walk documents for city employees when continually conceding goals and causing chaos. Enough.

Smith Hobnobs and the Enemy

nausea! shameful! Destructive! In our dime, the Prime Minister of Alberta travels to Florida, sitting at Hobnob, sitting at the feet of Americans who are paralyzing the Canadian economy by damaging the Canadian economy, to undermine our way of life by weakening tariffs. And, encourage foreign interference in our federal elections. Reprehensible.

The Prime Minister must apologize

Danielle Smith and David Staples both follow Trump’s script – Deny, confuse, never apologize. The problem is not her speech to the Trump administration and seeking to stop tariffs. The problem is that she demanded the withdrawal of tariffs, hoping that doing so would help Pierre Poilievre. She asked foreign countries to interfere in Canada’s federal election. Your words are clear, Danielle. It’s time for us to apologize.

Recovery benefits injured

I want to hear the real defense of Minister Jason Nixon about federal disability benefits from Aish recipients. The journal, reported in March, did not take into account the $49 million Aish cut, a move that was actually stealing federal transfers from high-demand disability Alberta and putting it into the province’s pocket book.

I think that in order for the federal government to bear the political costs, step into Alberta with disabilities. Two hundred dollars a month is a considerable amount for Aish recipients, and this financing will shorten and worsen many of Alberta’s lives.
