Letter: Sadly, the Emergencies Act was clearly justified
By Letter to the Editor on March 3rd, 2022
Dear editor, From any perspective, right, left, or anywhere between, it should be clear that it was the duty of the federal government of Canada to intervene in the recent chaos on the streets of Ottawa. The only area for debate on this issue is whether the feds should have waited three weeks. Clearly the ... Read More »
2 responsesLetter: History is repeating itself before our eyes
By Letter to the Editor on March 2nd, 2022
Dear editor, The Russian invasion of Ukraine, a sovereign nation, without provocation has the professional analysts writing overtime. The numerous opinions are varied and diverse, which is to be expected. These personal comments are uncomplicated and with reason. This aggression is mainly President Vladimir Putin’s endeavour to fulfil his delusions of grandeur to be the ... Read More »

1 responseLetter: It’s time for wholesale political change in Alberta, folks
By Letter to the Editor on March 2nd, 2022
Dear editor, Kenney and Toews must be spending too much time in the Sky Palace and are suffering from oxygen deprivation. The rise in oil prices was caused by Putin invading Ukraine and caused an oil shortage. Even so, crowing about balancing the budget is merely a deflection from the fact Alberta is $18 billion ...

Be the first to comment!Letter: We all agreed to make the government the boss
By Letter to the Editor on February 23rd, 2022
Dear editor, Most parents have heard their child tell them “that you are not the boss of me.” However the parents are the boss. As it is with the truckers’ protest. In Canada the government is the boss of all of us. This is because the people in government were elected by us and given ... Read More »
3 responsesLetter: Another Trudeau at the helm
By Letter to the Editor on February 23rd, 2022
Dear editor, I don’t know whether it’s co-incidence, divine intervention or whatever… I am old enough to remember a Mr. Pierre Trudeau, then the Prime Minister, invoking what I think was the War Measures Act; possibly not exactly that particular Act. The crisis then was the F.L.Q., the October 1970 crisis (surely everybody in my ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!Letter: Let’s all start holding ourselves accountable
By Letter to the Editor on February 17th, 2022
Dear editor, Regarding holding the politicians accountable for their actions – how about each one of us being responsible for our own actions (or lack thereof)? How can we expect anybody else be responsible when we ourselves don’t accept that same responsibility? That is the problem with most of the blockades and protests. Have these ... Read More »
3 responsesLetter: Bullying by the province must be OK
By Letter to the Editor on February 15th, 2022
Dear editor, So it is OK for Kenney’s provincial government to steal Medicine Hat’s lunch money by not paying all their property taxes but heaven help the city resident who fails to pay. Then you wind up out on the street with the other non-existent Medicine Hat homeless population. I remember a time not long ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Speak up for students, teachers
By Letter to the Editor on February 12th, 2022
Dear Editor, As a teacher, the most important thing to me is the well-being of my students. This is true for all the teachers I know. In December, the education minister accused teachers of turning a blind eye to those who hurt our students. This vilification was uncalled for. It was misleading and pitted parents ... Read More »
