Be the first to comment!Letter: A lot of commotion over a few singing seniors
By Letter to the Editor on February 26th, 2026
Dear editor, The past few Saturdays have held a few surprises of a curious kind. For nigh on a year now, a group of gentle, passionate individuals have gathered every Saturday in a visible area promoting a common theme – a love for Alberta to remain as part of Canada. We cheer, wave Canadian flags, ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Canadian women showed poor sportsmanship following gold-medal loss to U.S.
By Letter to the Editor on February 24th, 2026
Dear editor, I was thoroughly disgusted by the behaviour of the Canadian Women’s Olympic Hockey Team when they lost the gold medal to the U.S. After Marie-Philip Poulin retuned to her team’s bench, she slammed the door and threw down her stick like a spoiled child having a tantrum. (Nice one, Captain). During the medal ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Self-education – more important than it has ever been
By Letter to the Editor on February 18th, 2026
Dear editor, I find the furor over the upcoming Rebel News Panel at Medicine Hat College both curious and unsettling. “Thou doth protest too much, methinks.” I think so much of modern-day protest is just too over-the-top. What is the phrase? Too excessive to be credible? I am compelled to monitor the impending local media ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Is it freedom of speech to allow a group supporting separation to hold event at MHC Theatre?
By Letter to the Editor on February 17th, 2026
Dear editor, Is there a line our value system does not want crossed when it comes to freedom of speech? The present feeling is anyone can say anything about anybody because that is freedom of speech. Well, I’m sorry to report it isn’t quite that way. There are libel laws preventing me from calling my ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: MHC making a mistake allowing Rebel News Panel to occur
By Letter to the Editor on February 11th, 2026
Dear editor, I’m writing regarding our local college’s decision to host a Rebel News Panel. Medicine Hat College’s motto is “Scientia Mentem Sustinet,” which is Latin for “Knowledge Sustains the Mind.” This motto invites a reasonable inquiry into the College’s decision to host Rebel News Panelist Tamara Lich – among others – as a speaker. ...

7 responsesLetter: Tired of separatist rhetoric
By Letter to the Editor on February 4th, 2026
Dear editor, Having lived/worked in this region of the Prairies all my life and as a descendant of a NWMP/ranching family that arrived in 1884/86, I am “way past tolerant” with the current Alberta sovereignty and separatist rhetoric. In addition to my family helping settle this region, I had a great uncle who survived the ... Read More »
5 responsesLetter: Council made right call on Saamis Solar
By Letter to the Editor on February 4th, 2026
Dear editor, I would like to thank city council for their vision on going ahead with the Saamis Solar project. It is needed and welcomed by the majority of citizens of Medicine Hat. The minority are always the loudest but that does not make them right. Our premier is doing her best to slow down ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: How does owing $500B to U.S. mean freedom?
By Letter to the Editor on February 3rd, 2026
Dear editor, Recently, separatists operating under the name “Alberta Prosperity Project” held three meetings in the U.S. with officials in the Trump administration. The separatists were trying to obtain a $500 billion loan so as to fund their desired independent Alberta. Literature and advertising used by these separatists promise a greatly richer Alberta after their ... Read More »
5 responsesLetter: Bravo, Mark Carney, for working to expand Canadian exports
By Letter to the Editor on January 21st, 2026
Dear editor, I wish to congratulate the Carney government for their efforts to expand our export business. It may have hurt Ontario a little but has helped the farmers, pulp industry and the fishing industry. We are one country and we should be willing to help everyone. Hopefully more help will come for the auto ... Read More »
10 responsesLetter: Hidden cost of living: Toxic bosses and the erosion of human dignity
By Letter to the Editor on January 20th, 2026
Dear editor, We talk a lot about the cost of living – housing, groceries, fuel, childcare. But there’s a cost we rarely name, even though it drains people daily: the emotional cost of working under a toxic boss. For many, the workplace is not just a source of income; it’s where they spend the second ... Read More »
