Letter: MH Exhibition & Stampede an integral part of the community, of who Hatters are
By Letter to the Editor on March 6th, 2025
Re: Letter to the editor, published Feb. 11 Dear editor, Mr. Elder has presented a very narrow and slanted view to the public regarding the proposed project on the city’s grounds by the Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede. It is disheartening for the tens of thousands of Stampede volunteers over the past 130-plus years to ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: I thought treating my son against his wishes would save him. Instead, we buried him
By Letter to the Editor on March 1st, 2025
Dear editor, I am horrified but not surprised by the recent (and timely, ie – let’s show them we care, or better yet, let’s distract them from a really big issue currently in the news) announcement in regards to the plan to build two centres in the province to house those under pseudo arrest using ...

Be the first to comment!Letter: Donald Trump’s economic, political actions will only worsen drug addiction
By Letter to the Editor on February 27th, 2025
Dear editor, Hey Trump… Many years ago I learned of supply and demand in an Introductory Economics class. Basically, no demand, no supply – read that carefully. If your American people did not demand drugs (fentanyl and crack for example) the supply of such would dwindle. Therefore the problem lies with demand, not supply. Your ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Be prepared, the U.S. has abandoned the free world
By Letter to the Editor on February 27th, 2025
Dear editor, The line in the sand of truth and consequences has been drawn between the free world and the U.S. thanks to the current president. That president has sided with Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Hungary, Iran, Israel, Haiti and 10 more countries in voting against a U.N. resolution condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine. ...

By Letter to the Editor on February 25th, 2025
Dear editor, So very proud of our hockey men. No disparagement against our American neighbours at all. They played their best, we played our best and one of the greatest, if not the greatest, current player in the world scored the winning goal. A special acknowledgement to Sid Crosby, a great ambassador of the game ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Not buying Poilievre’s sudden switch to patriotism after promoting how broken we are
By Letter to the Editor on February 25th, 2025
Dear editor: Mr. Pierre Poilievre (Brokenitis) has spent the last two years telling us, unendingly, how dysfunctional and broken Canada is. Now he wraps himself in our flag, which, 60 years ago, his party fought against adopting as our flag. Who said “patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels”? Not me. On the plus side, ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Enjoy good news when you can because it’s a scary time for Alberta and Canadians
By Letter to the Editor on February 22nd, 2025
Dear editor, There’s an old Anne Murray song called, “A Little Good News” and recent stories in the News regarding Saamis Solar Park seemed like just a little bit of such. It’s great to know our city will hopefully be the owner and beneficiary of the largest solar power field in a Canadian city. In ... Read More »
2 responsesLetter: Albertans deserve better health care now
By Letter to the Editor on February 22nd, 2025
More than half a million Albertans don’t have a family doctor, stressed families are waiting for hours in the emergency room with sick children and frail seniors are living in pain for months, or even years, awaiting much-needed surgery. We expect our government to be urgently working to address these pressing health-care issues. But what ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on February 19th, 2025
Dear editor, I am writing to urge all concerned citizens to take immediate action regarding the proposed coal mine on the Eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. This region, known for its pristine beauty and vital natural resources, is under threat from a project that could have devastating environmental and economic consequences. The proposed mine ...

6 responsesLetter: Mark Carney is not the man to build a strong a free Canada
By Letter to the Editor on February 18th, 2025
Dear editor Besides CBC, almost all news, entertainment and information come from four private companies, and their stock is owned by major Canadian banking and business oligarchs. These are the “established media.” In my opinion, these media oligarchies have been shaping news to their own advantage and to our detriment. I no longer trust them. ... Read More »
2 responsesLetter: ‘Socialist’ has been misdefined and hijacked by the Poilievre-led Conservative Party
By Letter to the Editor on February 18th, 2025
Dear editor, The word “socialist” has become an undeserved electioneering slur used by the Conservative Party of Canada and Medicine Hat-Cardston Warner MP Glen Motz. I consider CPC Leader Pierre Poilievre’s political speech equating socialism with Naziism at the recent 80th Anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp, to be unstatesmanlike and very ...
