Letters, Aug. 30, 2024: ‘Health staff a credit to their profession’

Article content

I have visited Peter Lougheed Centre Day Surgery twice this year. Both times I encountered amazing people. From Admitting, to the time in Unit 22, the surgeon, ER and Recovery, the staff were such a pleasure. Efficient, supportive and oh so personal. This in spite of the abysmal support from government and AHS. Thank you so much for your professionalism and dedication.

Galavanting Gondek

Let Calgarians be very clear, Mayor Gondek, your and city administration’s incompetence is not our fault. Your main responsibility is to run the day-to-day operations, not running off to places unknown to pad your resume or pontificating to us minions of your supposed self importance. Let the city department heads advise Calgarians about the water-main issue, not someone who does not have a clue of what she is talking about!

Trudeau is Singh’s reflection

Read the article where it says Justin Trudeau ordered binding arbitration on the railway strike (“Caved to ‘greed,’” The Canadian Press, Aug. 23). Jagmeet Singh, who has the power to force an election, doesn’t like it. Says Trudeau is cowardly for doing so. Really? This man must look in the mirror and see not only his but Justin’s reflection as well. The only reason he has not forced an election is because he knows he wouldn’t win his riding either and this would mean no golden pension — that is cowardly.

TODD KELLER

(Singh has the best of both worlds — he can feign anger with Trudeau while at the same time stay in office until his pension is fully vested. He has no reason to stop supporting Trudeau, and millions of reasons to continue to do so)

Lessons learned

Our PM is very delusional coming out with statements that the country is still wanting him around. I have watched his family tear this country apart now for the second time. When are we going to get a responsible government and not a bunch of pension-seekers. We now know the apple did not fall far from the tree.

DONALD KRAEHLING

(We didn’t learn our lesson the first time but our opportunity to fix it is about a year away)
