PM’s marijuana legalization arguments don’t add up

By Letter to the Editor on May 12th, 2018

Justin Trudeau is the most radical and socially destructive prime minister the Liberal Party has ever saddled the west with. His arguments for marijuana legalization just do not add up. Trudeau says he wants to make it harder for children to access marijuana. However his plan is to let adults grow up to four plants ... Read More »

Rosebud a ‘real treasure’

By Letter to the Editor on May 10th, 2018

We have many under-appreciated treasures in Alberta. One such treasure is the little town of Rosebud. Thirty-five years ago the small town became home to an educational fine art’s program. Over the years the town has converted their many businesses into a theatre, a dining hall, an art gallery, a sound studio and a residence ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on May 9th, 2018

Re: “Reserves not ready for legal pot: Senate,” May 2 Can someone please explain to me why the Canadian government and the Senate in particular is promoting racism in 2018? Marijuana legalization and the July 1 date seem to be up in the air due to concerns from various groups. One of which is the ... Read More »

Consider what comes after

By Letter to the Editor on May 9th, 2018

First let me say that abortion is not health care. Of course there are rare exceptions as for example in tubal pregnancy in which both the lives of the mother and unborn baby is at risk. Very important are the consequences of abortion for the unborn. Obviously the unborn life, at whatever stage, is put ... Read More »

Both sides of abortion debate deserve protection

By Letter to the Editor on May 3rd, 2018

I agree it is truly up to the government and within the law to ban “pro-life” protesters away from abortion clinics, especially as it is a legal procedure. But the NDP’s proposed bill has a flaw. “Pro-choice” protesters can be quite violent at times towards “pro-life” opponents, causing them serious injuries, and in some cases ... Read More »

Living day by day and moment to moment

By Letter to the Editor on May 2nd, 2018

“Being mentally healthy means you feel good about life, you’re reaching your potential and you’re accomplishing your goals.” This is a quote I saw on Twitter from a local mental health agency. I have never met a mental health consumer that feels this way, and not a lot of people, but maybe I am being ... Read More »

Health and safety first

By Letter to the Editor on May 2nd, 2018

With all the controversy about the Trans Mountain pipe line project and BC residents are worried about their pristine shore line. Across Boundary Bay the Cherry Point oil refinery at Ferndale, Wash., is about 25 kilometres away since 1971. It refines oil that has been brought down the west coast by tankers from Alaska and ...

Green Party and its three seats holding up pipeline

By Letter to the Editor on April 30th, 2018

I’ve been following that pipeline story — the one about the addition to the already existing one to the Burnaby, B.C., terminal — from the beginning. As far as I and possibly others are concerned, the fiasco started when the last B.C. election resulted in a ‘now what?’ situation where neither party, the Liberals nor ... Read More »

Treatment by WCB considered unfair

By Letter to the Editor on April 30th, 2018

I am writing with concerns about the WCB board. On July 13, 2016, I went to emergency at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital because my whole right side was numb. I was diagnosed with CTS and after a few doctor’s appointments had surgery Oct. 26, 2016, on my right wrist. About two weeks after surgery ... Read More »

Rule of law only applicable when it’s convenient

By Letter to the Editor on April 28th, 2018

Rachel Notley, Justin Trudeau, and Kinder Morgan, to get the pipeline built, state that Canada is a country of laws which we must follow. But only you and me. For them the laws don’t matter. Really, what happens to politicians who break the law? They just get moved to another position. That’s convenience. Kinder Morgan, ... Read More »

Religion can only destroy earth and the human race

By Letter to the Editor on April 27th, 2018

Re: “Letter adds to religious divisions,” April 9 Religious division and the fires it generates will disappear only when religion does. Encouraging two or three generations of students to think critically, in particular to weigh the belief of an imaginary genocidal maniac that controls the universe and everything in it against the reality revealed by ...
