Our Thoughts

Thought-provoking commentary on life, politics, religion and social issues.

Author: Larry Bates

My bio should probably read: Larry was born and raised in Calgary. Attended Haultain elementary, where a teacher, Miss Christine McInnis, taught him Alberta and Canadian history in grades 4 and 5 and made him appreciate our heritage. He also attended Connaught Jr. High and Western Canada High School, which everyone knows is the premier school in Alberta. He is the proud father of six grown children, and the grandfather of five. Married to Susan, who hails from Raymond.
