Letter: No government, of any party, should have power to manipulate pension funds
By Letter to the Editor on July 30th, 2025
Prior to the last election Danielle Smith stated that an Alberta Pension Plan was not an election issue. Since then her party has spent millions of our dollars promoting one. After 63% of respondents rejected it in last year’s survey, the UCP is once again trying to sell the idea. The new sales pitch video, ... Read More »
4 responsesLetter: I love Alberta, but Alberta needs to love people back
By Letter to the Editor on July 30th, 2025
Dear editor, I love living in Alberta and I do not want to live anywhere else, but at times it can be challenging for my mental health. In this case I live my life day to day and try to ignore politics as much as possible. Having lived on AISH from 2003 to 2022 when ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Deserving recognition
By Letter to the Editor on July 17th, 2025
Dear editor, Graham Kelly was an outstanding example for all future council candidates in the City of Medicine Hat to emulate. His first concern was always for the City and its citizens. He had a gifted ability of persuasion to cut the red tape and bureaucracy to get things done on time and on budget. ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Bring back the COVID-19 vaccine
By Letter to the Editor on July 17th, 2025
Dear editor, Just when you think that our provincial government can’t come up with any more bizarre ideas, they do. The COVID-19 vaccine is no longer being funded by the province because the premier questions its effectiveness and many doses were wasted. I would like to know what ended the COVID-19 pandemic if the vaccine ... Read More »
4 responsesLetter: Medicine Hat is lucky to have helpful people
By Letter to the Editor on July 17th, 2025
Dear editor, I would like to give a big shout out to one of your own companies in Medicine Hat. My husband had the misfortune of taking out his driveshaft on our motorhome on Monday, June 30. Kelly from Tri-Co Machining went over and above on Wednesday, July 2, having our driveshaft repaired by mid-afternoon. ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Fly Alberta’s flag at all municipal buildings
By Letter to the Editor on July 3rd, 2025
Dear editor, I believe every municipal building in the province, including Medicine Hat, should be flying the beautiful Alberta provincial flag as well as the Maple Leaf. We should always be willing to show our allegiance and pride in our province and to the place we call home. To not show our pride is shameful. ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!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 »

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 »
3 responsesLetter: 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 »
