When it comes to abortion, laws of the land are contrary to God’s law

By Letter to the Editor on June 22nd, 2018

Re: “It’s hard to make any sense of some arguments,” May 19 As a sensible person, I along with millions of others fully support the reasons for being pro-life as opposed to pro-abortion. We believe human life is sacred from the womb to the tomb. We do not regard animal life in the same way ... Read More »

Respect and dignity go two ways

By Letter to the Editor on June 21st, 2018

Re: “Local man claims he and other ‘Christians’ are being stifled by the library’s social media,” June 1 I don’t normally use this format to express frustration or concern, but after reading Collin Gallant’s article regarding a recent social media post from the Medicine Hat Public Library, I really felt compelled to speak up. As ... Read More »

American evangelicals ‘messed up’ as they ‘worship’ Donald Trump

By Letter to the Editor on June 21st, 2018

“A great personality and very smart, good combination”; A very talented man”; “He loves his country very much”; “A worthy negotiator”; “They have great beaches, whenever they’re exploding their cannons into the ocean, I say, ‘Boy, look at that view, wouldn’t that make a great condo?'” It’s a testament to how utterly messed up American ...

Get past the stigma

By Letter to the Editor on June 20th, 2018

I have been thinking about stigma for awhile. We have kinds of stigma in our society against mental illness, developed delayed folks, people who look different from us, people who act different from us and people who take drugs. I have been wondering who has the time for all this stigma in their lives it ... Read More »

Maligned ‘for words never said’

By Letter to the Editor on June 18th, 2018

On June 1, the Medicine Hat News published a story in response to my unpublished letter to the editor involving censorship with the Medicine Hat Public Library Facebook page. As a result of what I believe to be misrepresentations in this story, I have been publicly and unfairly maligned for words which I have never ... Read More »

Heartwarming citizen assistance following crash

By Letter to the Editor on June 15th, 2018

A couple of weeks ago we were at Windmill Garden Centre to choose some bedding plants for our yard. While we were inside, our vehicle, which was parked on the street right in front along First Street S.W. was hit by someone who was heading in the opposite direction and crossed the centre line, hitting ...

Let City Hall know your weed displeasure

By Letter to the Editor on June 14th, 2018

Re: “Medicine Hat has a weed problem,” June 8 I agree wholeheartedly with Ken Pirie’s letter to the editor. I have been fighting with the Parks Department to clean up the weeds and overgrown trees and shrubs around the Northlands storm pond for years. It is a weed-infested disgrace with overgrown underbrush and trees. This ... Read More »

Top treatment at hospital

By Letter to the Editor on June 12th, 2018

I recently spent some days at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital. I don’t think I have ever seen a more dedicated, qualified and compassionate group of professionals. There are many hospitals in Alberta that could benefit with services comparable to those delivered in the Medicine Hat facility. Special thanks to the staff on 5 East, ... Read More »

Support and acceptance found far and wide

By Letter to the Editor on June 12th, 2018

Re: “Local man claims he and other ‘Christians’ are being stifled by the library’s social media,” June 1 Mr. S. Johnston has had his two minutes of fame, though I am saddened it was at the expense of some people at the fine public institution whose only crime is social inclusion and acceptance. It’s a ...

Stopping Kinder Morgan

By Letter to the Editor on June 11th, 2018

Wow, we’ve been massively lied to and now get to pay for it in a big way! A National Observer article titled “What’s Behind Kinder Morgan’s May 31 Ultimatum? Follow the Money” by Robyn Allan shows Kinder Morgan never had the money to build the pipeline. So now they’re trying to get out of their ... Read More »
