Resident criticizes Lethbridge Mayor Blaine Hyggen and Hyggen responds by writing letter to resident's employer

189 Upvotes

Came across this on Facebook and I'm concerned. Trevor Lewington shared this post about what Mayor Hyggen tried to do to him in response to Facebook comments. First two paragraphs below:

"Imagine posting a comment on Facebook criticizing a decision made by your city council. The Mayor doesn't like what you said. Rather than call you, respond to your comments or explain why you're wrong, he writes a formal letter to your employer asking that you be dealt with, your comments removed and similar criticism stopped.

Now imagine that same Mayor, just two days later, publicly calling on everyone to put their differences aside, respect one another and come together after a divisive political debate. Sounds a little ridiculous, doesn't it? Well, that's essentially what happened to me."

We're a Calgary-based prog rock band, this is our first single. It's inspired by the Badlands + Coulees, we're hoping to help put these unique regions more on the map musically. Check it out if you're into desert rock or prog epics like Roundabout, Echoes, and 2112.

Mods, if this is too pluggy feel free to let me know :)

Hoping to bring this song live to Lethbridge soon!

Is Iroquois Crescent a safe area?

0 Upvotes

Considering buying a property on Iroquois Crescent, how's the neighborhood for crime? I'm used to living in a somewhat sketchy part of the north side so my bar isn't super high but I'm hoping to move to an area with less drugs and property crime.

Hey everyone!
Is anyone else trying to complete the Wild 95.5 Wild 25 song list?
I’ve been keeping track of the songs and their numbers as they’re announced, and I’ve managed to fill in most of my list! I’m just missing a few numbers now.
I thought it might be helpful if a few of us teamed up and shared what we’ve confirmed so we can finish our lists together.
