Ok let’s see if this gets published. The notion that renuable energy is carbon neutral is crazy. It cannot exist without a huge carbon footprint to manufacture,distribute and build. Renuables may be useful but come on, carbon neutral,NO (Editor’s note: Just for you, we didn’t change a single letter.)

While I agree with the tickled pink post that farmers and ranchers are important, do you really believe doctors and teachers are insignificant? I sure don’t.

That the southbound Finlay Bridge entrance is so narrow you bounce off the curb trying not to run over the yellow line. Just look at the tracks in the snow.

Can’t believe left learners fill this paper. Or does this indicate 1 % of Medicine Hat?

Corruption in the UCP government’s health-care administration? Why am I not surprised? I just hope it is not the tip of an iceberg.

Tickled Pink

If Canada had its own DOGE and quit using our tax money to fund all these woke projects all over the world.

Smith wants to kiss Trump’s ring. She should take a harder line. She needs to demand a higher price for oil and make the U.S. pay.

I wish our local newspaper would move from the far left to the centre, starting with Scott Schmidt. So close to cancelling our subscription.

Tickled Pink

That at last Scott Schmidt is back! Terrific ‘return’ column, makes us think more than anyone else and always spot on the troubles and stupidity. Go, go, go!

Tickled Pink

To see Scott Schmidt’s submission in the comments section of Feb. 8 paper. I have missed his regular column and comments. This time, as always, he has hit the nail on the head and has told it the way it is. Thank you, Scott.

Trump’s desire that Canada become U.S.A.’s 51 state is ridiculous, as is his desire to acquire Greenland, Gaza and Panama. Makes cuts to his own people in services and aid, ignores his territory of Puerto Rico, renames Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Trump’s monstrous appetite for power and domination has no rational boundaries. News flash: We are Canadian!

How is that Alberta never seems to have enough money to properly fund education and health care? Corruption could be deeper than the recent scandal. Hard to trust this government.

So, Mr. Schmidt, both you and Mr. Cote like blackface do you? Danielle Smith is the only reason we got a 30-day reprieve from tariffs. Her diplomacy got things started. It sure wasn’t blackface.

Tickled Pink

With Scott Schmidt’s column on Saturday. Every word was the truth.

Tickled Pink

That Medicine Hat News will publish an opinion piece that highlights the shortcomings of our premier. Well said, Scott Schmidt.

Ticked Off

At the percentage of votes that are for us to become a 51st state. It will never happen. As for those who voted for this, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. And take Danielle Smith with you.

Ticked Off

Just a bit. Wind chill is a temperature that cannot be measured with a thermometer. It’s a fictitious value. Saying a wind chill of -30C is incorrect (as on page A3 in Friday’s paper). Please print -30. No “C”.

Ticked Off

Counter measures to Trump’s tariffs are our own tariffs? Won’t that penalize Canadians? That doesn’t seem like a good idea. Leave it alone and let him sink his own ship.

Tickled Pink

That because President Trump and DOGE Musk are dismissing the staff of FBI, CIA, NSA and five other national intelligence agencies, the U.S. has no intelligence. But then, we already knew that.

Canada became an independent sovereign country in 1867 and has been so for 157 years. Shame on all those who in less than three weeks in power, are willing to hand over our country to be Donald Trump’s 51 State. You need to give your heads not just a shake but a substantial smack.

Ticked Off

Governments want to cull wild horses for no really good reasons. In the British Block the introduction of elk to replace the horses has proven to be a mistake.

Ticked Off

Incredible that 22% of p MHN poll voters want Canada to become the 51st state. Horrid! Would this 22% please move down there ASAP and leave us strong and true Canadians space to plan for our free and sane future?
