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 »
Be the first to comment!Kenney doing whatever it takes to win
By Letter to the Editor on July 25th, 2018
Re: “Where does Jason Kenney stand?”, July 23 To answer John Stanley’s question, Jason Kenney stands on the side of winning the next Alberta provincial election. That’s it and that’s all. Winning is the only goal, the be-all and the end-all. He has clearly and honestly stated as much in direct quotes in the Medicine ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on July 23rd, 2018
A supervised consumption site in Medicine Hat is an example of the Harm Reduction Strategy that Alberta Health Services uses when dealing with drug addiction.

Be the first to comment!Major screwup on Southlands Drive
By Letter to the Editor on July 23rd, 2018
It is amazing how council members lose all sense of responsibility, to the city, as soon as they hold a position. The person or people within the planning and development or zoning offices have blown it once again. Take a drive down Southlands Drive, just south of the Walmart, and you will see the major ...

Be the first to comment!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 »
