Letter: Canada Post is an essential part of what brings us all together
By Letter to the Editor on June 26th, 2025
Dear editor, I feel Canada Post is an important Canadian Institution that should be preserved no matter what the cost, much like the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It is what brings Canada together and what is uniquely Canadian. It is important to both rural and urban Canada. I admit I am biased. My grandfather was postmaster ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: A heartfelt and well deserved thank-you to an educator whose impact was felt by many
By Letter to the Editor on June 26th, 2025
Dear editor, It was great happiness to read the recent article on Mrs. Di Ninno’s well earned recognition on 30 years of service to education. Our family personally was influenced and inspired by her dedication and excellence in teaching. Our two sons attended CAPE school for five years and we never regretted a day of ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Separation would be especially hard on Alberta’s disabled
By Letter to the Editor on June 24th, 2025
Dear editor, We are a group of advocates with disabilities. We are worried about Alberta separating from Canada. If Alberta separates, we will lose important federal programs such as CPP-Disability, Canada Disability Benefit, our Registered Disability Savings Plan contributions, native affairs payments and federal education grants for students with disabilities. Health-care programs will not have ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Thank you, Medicine Hat, it was a pleasure from start to finish
By Letter to the Editor on June 17th, 2025
Dear editor, The closure of CHAT-TV meant that my employment ended too. I’m not bitter, but thankful. The viewers of CHAT-TV and the listeners of WILD 94.5 and MY 96 allowed me to speak with them on a daily basis since 1989. If you add up my first tour at CHAT from 1978 to 1981 ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Local media needs more local support, including from elected officials
By Letter to the Editor on June 10th, 2025
Dear editor, The closing of CHAT-TV shocked us all, but was probably expected if you think about it. We tend to think media like newspapers, TV and radio stations, which have been part of our lives, will be there forever, but the media survives only if it is supported by advertising revenue. Pattison’s decision to ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Health care should not be a choice it should be a priority
By Letter to the Editor on June 5th, 2025
Dear editor, As the UCP government in Alberta seems to be making it easier for private health care to grab a foothold in Alberta, we at Palliser Friends of Medicare feel we should remind people that public health care better serves the public and is a more cost-effective way to run a provincial health-care system. ...

2 responsesLetter: Enough is enough with these ‘Black Hats’
By Letter to the Editor on June 5th, 2025
Dear editor, This is a letter to local ultra UCPers who call yourselves Black Hats (a sly way of distancing from the Red Hatted Orange Autocrat, I suppose). Since you are emulating Quebecois Separatistes I must ask why? Yet I believe I know the answer and it’s rather simple; greed and a self-centred way of ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on May 29th, 2025
Re: Critics blast Alberta Energy Regulator coal project approval by Alexandra Noad in the Medicine Hat News on May 21, 2025. Dear editor, In this article, Rob Miyashiro, MLA Lethbridge West, “encouraged Albertans to contact their local MLA … to let them know they don’t support the mine.” That’s great advice, only I had an ...

5 responsesLetter: Canada needs constitutional reforms to survive and thrive
By Letter to the Editor on May 27th, 2025
Dear editor, The current bluster for Alberta separation after the Liberal victory in the recent federal election has challenging implications. A group of disenchanted Albertans refuse to accept the results and the current governance model, and they are promoting separation. The process for separation has been clarified by the Supreme Court in The Clarity Act. ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Boundary between Canada and U.S. not just real, it’s historically significant
By Letter to the Editor on May 13th, 2025
Dear editor, It’s time those who say we should become the 51st state begin to understand Canadian history and geography. Canada’s southern border divides us from those with differing views and expectations – it is a totally appropriate and wonderful boundary. Those who seek to dissolve it like the Orange Autocrat and the supposed one-fifth ... Read More »
4 responsesLetter: 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 »
