Where does JasonKenney stand?
By Letter to the Editor on July 23rd, 2018
The Medicine Hat News needs to take a much bigger interest in the Todd Beasley case than it appears to want to. That is because it is a ticking time bomb that will not only test the editorial abilities of the News, but also the real truth behind the United Conservative Party, and more importantly ...

1 responseOnline poll ‘disparaging’
By Letter to the Editor on July 21st, 2018
A recent online poll by the Medicine Hat News was quite disparaging toward used car Dealers in the city. My family and I have had a number of dealings with a locally owned and operated used car dealership on South Railway Street over the last 20 years or so. I have always found them to ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Who dropped the ball in the Suffield block?
By Letter to the Editor on July 20th, 2018
In the early 1990s concern over the changing ecosystems in the Suffield block culminated in removal of 1,200 feral horses who up to this point lived happily not bothering too many folks, except some genius bureaucrats who felt it necessary to have them removed as they were the cause of that eco-destruction. No one at ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!They change after election
By Letter to the Editor on July 20th, 2018
A puzzling development in a politician’s brain takes place once he is elected, especially in the ones who are in opposition. Their brains turn into mash. One of our MLAs is talking about trimming the fat as in his MLA Report in the Medicine Hat News on June 15. As a lifelong free enterpriser, I’m ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on July 19th, 2018
I am a Grade 8 girl who had the pleasing of reading an article in the News about the Aurora Cannabis greenhouse that will be constructed in our hometown. This greenhouse will be providing lots of jobs for those who don’t have one, however I do have some concerns about the safety of our city. ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Beasley’s remarks called ‘highly offensive’
By Letter to the Editor on July 18th, 2018
The discriminatory and highly offensive remarks made by Mr. Beasley must run contrary to his party’s principles. He was a candidate for the “United” Conservative Party. United for who? Do Muslims not play a part in bettering this nation? I wonder if Todd Beasley has ever bothered to consult any credible Islamic literature or is ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Pros and cons to the arrival of Aurora Sun in Medicine Hat
By Letter to the Editor on July 18th, 2018
I am writing concerning the new Aurora Sun facility. I believe this company could benefit our city yet if there are no restrictions, it could also worsen our city. Our city has had a shortage of jobs since the oil and gas crisis and bringing in this business could help fix that. Bringing in the ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Proposed social studies curriculum a roadmap for manipulating student values
By Letter to the Editor on July 18th, 2018
I recently reviewed a copy of the proposed K-4 Social Studies Curriculum put out by Alberta Education. It is obvious now why Alberta Education has been so secretive and reluctant to allow public access to it. I was a teacher of K-12 for 23 years, a school principal for 11 years in both rural and ...

By Letter to the Editor on July 12th, 2018
I am a Grade 8 student at Crescent Heights High School. I am writing about the new marijuana factory coming to Medicine Hat. I think that the city did a great job of bringing new economic options to Medicine Hat, especially since the downturn of the oil and gas industry. Although this is great for ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Governments need to commit to TB fight
By Letter to the Editor on July 11th, 2018
Centuries of neglect have transformed tuberculosis, a curable disease, into the biggest infectious killer today, claiming more victims than HIV and malaria combined. Every year, 10 million human beings contract TB. Every year, 1.7 million die of it. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has shown great leadership by promising to end TB in Canada’s North, but ...

Be the first to comment!Marijuana should be ‘medical’ only
By Letter to the Editor on July 9th, 2018
I am 13 years old. I am addressing the medical marijuana greenhouse situation. I think this is a very noble choice. At first I had some concerns like impaired driving, the cost and if there would be other harmful drugs put into the marijuana. I then talked to my father and he told me, “this ... Read More »
