Letter: BATUS celebrates 49th birthday
By Letter to the Editor on January 5th, 2021
Dear editor, Forty-nine years ago on January 7, 1972, 14 original members of the British Army arrived in Canada from the UK via Washington D.C., Montreal and Calgary to the final destination at CFB Suffield to set up what all local’s now know as BATUS. We were a very weary and unsuspecting lot of individuals. ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!Letter: No one actually thinks Trump was cheated, do they?
By Letter to the Editor on January 2nd, 2021
Dear editor, I seriously doubt most of Donald Trump’s ardent supporters truly believe that, as they adamantly insist, he won the election but was cheated from his victory due to (not little but) massive electoral fraud – a claim they cannot factually support. Just the loss on its own seems to be proof enough that ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: We’re Albertans. Let’s do this ourselves
By Letter to the Editor on January 2nd, 2021
Dear editor, Why are Canadians, and in particular Albertans, wasting time and energy over who did or did not win or cheat in the U.S. presidential election? We have no input whatsoever, so who cares? Why are Albertans whining and crying about why Justin Trudeau stuck it to us again? We all know the election ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!Letter: Trump’s pre-pandemic economic performance should earn him a ‘C’
By Letter to the Editor on December 30th, 2020
Dear editor, Supporters of Donald Trump greatly exaggerate his economic success and are blind to facts that indicate otherwise. First is the fact that Trump inherited an economy that had largely recovered from the Great Recession (2008-09) and was gaining strength. Evidence of this is the 76 months of continuous job growth in place at ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Look to Canada before judging the U.S.
By Letter to the Editor on December 26th, 2020
Dear editor, The contentious editorials authored by Messrs. Peter Mueller and Fred Lewis and published in the News on Nov. 27 warrant response. What an abomination these letters are; Canadians slandering an American President who continually demonstrates his love of country, while we in Canada are governed by a divisive, apathetic “great reset” globalist in ...

Dear editor, This is a letter to show appreciation to everyone involved in my recent positive experience with the health system in Medicine Hat.
