Letter: Snow-plow method would save money, increase safety
By Letter to the Editor on April 23rd, 2025
Dear editor, I’m sure you have noticed the dusty, dirty, polluted, unhealthy springtime air in Medicine Hat caused by the thick layer of sand/dirt layered on city streets over the winter. It is terribly unhealthy for city residents with any type of breathing, sinus or allergy conditions. These layers upon layers of sand/dirt on the ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: If we work together, we can end the unfair housing game in Canada
By Letter to the Editor on April 23rd, 2025
Dear editor, Everyone needs a safe, decent, affordable place to call home. But for too long, our housing system has felt like an unfair game rigged against us all. Rents are skyrocketing. Mortgage rates are unpredictable. Buying a home is beyond reach. In our own community, there just isn’t enough housing for it to be ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: When politicians present us information, is it fact or fiction?
By Letter to the Editor on April 17th, 2025
Dear editor, Often when elected members speak, percentages are used to support their political position, but can the facts be substantiated? MLA Wright stated in the Medicine Hat News (Feb. 18), the Cypress Courier (Feb. 25) and another local paper “more than 60% of the province does not agree with solar and wind power.” I ... Read More »
4 responsesLetter: Alberta Prosperity’s presentation of misrepresentation
By Letter to the Editor on April 15th, 2025
Dear editor, Concerned citizens attended the Alberta Prosperity Project presentation held in Redcliff. The talk was an orchestrated presentation of misinformation mixed with the zeal of a Christian Nationalism rally. Hung up on the Trudeau war cry (someone please update them), they presented misleading information on COVID and vaccines, at times referring to a globalist ... Read More »
5 responsesLetter: Consider the source when thinking about a provincial pension plan
By Letter to the Editor on April 15th, 2025
Dear editor, The Alberta Prosperity Project, a group promoting Alberta sovereignty, held a meeting in Redcliff on April 9. They advocate for an Alberta Pension Plan. If what they state in meetings is what they have on their website, it might be worthwhile to consider the following: 1. The Prosperity Project bases its calculations on ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Do we live to consume, or consume to live?
By Letter to the Editor on April 10th, 2025
Dear editor, We aren’t people anymore. We are instead labelled “consumers,” so therefore our value depends on how much we consume. We are but cogs in the consumption-for-consumption-sake economic machine. Or are we? Media commentators and so-called social influencers give us this “consumer” label over and over. We must buy more to prevent economic recession. ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on March 27th, 2025
Dear editor, An open letter to Premier Danielle Smith, Please understand that you do not speak for me, nor do you speak for as many Albertans as you claim. You merely speak for those who belong to your party, the UCP. In the last election over 45% of Albertan voters did not mark their ballots ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!Letter: Smith’s plans are aligning with the U.S., not Canada
By Letter to the Editor on March 26th, 2025
Dear editor, It has become more and more obvious what Premier Danielle Smith and her cronies want, and that is to become either an independent nation (separate from Canada) or become the 51st state and be part of the U.S. dictatorship with the deranged president of that former republic. She has travelled to the U.S. ... Read More »
3 responsesLetter: 51st State, or exploited territory?
By Letter to the Editor on March 20th, 2025
Dear editor, Canadians have clearly rejected joining the United States, recognizing that capitulation to a bully will only escalate further unreasonable demands. However, U.S. President Donald Trump’s predation will not be satiated until we either join them, or domestic pressures alters his obsession. MAGA Republicans must question the long-term political consequences of making Canada a ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: 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 »
