‘Selective memory’ exhibited by Wanner
By Letter to the Editor on August 8th, 2018
Re: MLA Report by Bob Wanner — July 27 In reviewing this report, I marvelled at the long explanation on age and family advice. Being somewhere near the same age of Bob Wanner, I think he has a selective memory regarding the legacy of previous (non NDP) governments. I am referring to the Conservatives from ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Danforth killer’s family should be deported
By Letter to the Editor on August 8th, 2018
I am upset that the media are trying to make the Danforth murderer, Faisal Hussain, as the victim. The true victims were the 12 people shot and the young woman and girl that were killed. Recently, the Medicine Hat News published two editorials from the Canadian Press, one from the Hamilton Spectator on Aug. 1, ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Cypress-Medicine Hat voters face interesting question at the polls
By Letter to the Editor on August 3rd, 2018
It would be quite interesting if Bob Wanner is the NDP candidate in the Cypress-Medicine Hat constituency. The contest would be an excellent opportunity to clarify recent political happenings in southeastern Alberta. Was Wanner’s victory in 2015 a random occurrence, or did the voters choose him because he would provide the best representation for our ... Read More »
1 responseColumn was ‘fiction’
By Letter to the Editor on August 2nd, 2018
After reading the July 28 column of Paul McLennan Whatever happened to rational thought?, I was puzzled for a while. Then I thought about it and realized Mr. McLennan has chosen a new writing genre: fiction. Gregory R. Cote Irvine, ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Leave curricular development to experts
By Letter to the Editor on August 2nd, 2018
The Alberta Curriculum joke continues. After much criticism and growing backlash to the current curricular developments in mathematics and social studies, the minister of education elects to survey the public about curricular development. I don’t quite understand the process nor the point of a survey to the general public prior to introducing a model. When ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Column was ‘awesome’
By Letter to the Editor on August 2nd, 2018
Paul McLennan’s July 28 column, Whatever happened to rational thought?, was absolutely awesome. The News needs to forward it to all those other Canadian newspapers that plug up the left-hand column of its editorial page with often very boring, politically-correct nonsense. John Stanley Medicine Hat... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Time to close the refugee loophole
By Letter to the Editor on August 1st, 2018
Re: “Canada’s imaginary migrant crisis,” June 21 Jeremy Appel’s opinion is simply a statement of the ongoing liberal/left polices of trying to force nations to an open border situation which is being promoted by some. Many of the immigrants today are economic migrants, most of whom claim refugee status once in the country. The definition ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Hateful pamphlets, posters don’t represent Medicine Hat
By Letter to the Editor on August 1st, 2018
In response to the recent hate-speech which tarnished cars and church doors in some neighbourhoods in Medicine Hat, one thing needs to be made clear: Newcomer populations, immigrants, refugees and minority populations are all welcomed community members. You are our community members and this racist narrative has no place in our community. The actions of ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!4,000 elk in Suffield block, not 400
By Letter to the Editor on July 26th, 2018
Re: “Who dropped the ball in the Suffield block?” July 20 Unfortunately there was a wee error in the letter as written by myself. In the second paragraph I stated that there are now 400 elk in the Suffield block. Actually there are 4,000 elk in the block and obviously this number gives an entirely ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Setting it straight on Trudeau’s comment
By Letter to the Editor on July 26th, 2018
A correction needs to be recognized regarding a quote in John Stanley’s thunder of July 23 (“Where does Jason Kenney stand?”) Indeed, freedom of speech is most important in any democracy and asking intelligent questions of any in-house government or want-to-be official is necessary in forming good judgment. It is equally important that journalists do ... Read More »
1 responseTime to do our part to stop another genocide
By Letter to the Editor on July 25th, 2018
Last week people commemorated the genocide of Srebrenica with events held in Toronto, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Windsor and other cities. Yet, as we commemorate one genocide, there is another one that unfolds before our very eyes today in Myanmar, the Srebrenica of today. Just like the Serbian troops massacred thousands of people in Bosnia, Myanmar’s military ... Read More »
