Remembering Ralph
Re: Pothole On Glenmore Trail damaging vehicles as rain causes flooding and destruction.
It’s all but a distant memory right now, but remember when the people’s mayor of Calgary, Ralph Klein, would hop on the back of an asphalt truck every spring? Ralph would be dressed in grubby coveralls with boots and gloves, assisting the road crews with pothole repairs. Somehow, I couldn’t see neither former-mayor Naheed Nenshi nor present mayor, Jyoti Gondek, doing that, getting their hands all dirty.

Pandemic truths
Re “Crown seeks to make Convoy organizers political prisoners” (Brian Lilley, July 22). When will someone finally be held accountable for the invocation of the Emergencies Act, which our Federal Court has ruled was absolutely illegal?
