Re: “So sorry, but I am not sorry,” Jan. 22 I read Mr. McLennan’s column and want to point out a few “facts.” Mr. McLennan’s sense of self-importance is not buttressed by law. I could not find any reference to his “comfort” in Canadian law but can find many dealing with equal treatment and equal ... Read More »

Re: “So sorry, but I am not sorry,” Jan. 22 Paul McLennan’s recent column is a sad litany of bleak, cold, disaffected and self-satisfiedly ignorant statements about social justice issues in Canada. None of his statements seem to have had the benefit of any thought or ideas reaching beyond the 1950s, particularly his statements regarding ... Read More »

Alberta Health Services has once again dropped the ball in Medicine Hat. They have done so numerous times regarding the new addition to our hospital. First there was the water quality issue, which resulted in many delayed surgeries. Next up the roof-top helicopter landing area; it’s still not functional. Transportation Canada informed them a secondary ... Read More »

Re: “Political leaders must exhibit higher standards,” Jan. 29 I started writing this letter to the editor to commend Jeremy Appel on his editorial. I was going to write things like “How can anyone so young exhibit such wisdom.” But then I again realized that there are quite a few very talented, skilled, capable and ... Read More »

Re: “Obeying the Gospel is life changing,” Jan. 2 Firstly, I would challenge you to put forth even a handful of prophecies, let alone hundreds, that are not ambiguous to the point of absurdity and that have not been interpreted in so many ways over the last 20 centuries as to be logically useless, simply ...

Re: “Opinions are not facts,” Jan. 27 I always love it when Mr. Mueller responds to my columns because he invariably provides evidence to support the opinions I express. I often say those on the left would much prefer to suppress rather than discuss, dare I say over coffee, opinions that they do not agree ... Read More »

Re: “So sorry, I am not sorry,” Jan. 22 What struck me about Mr. McLennan’s column was the absolute arrogance with which he espoused on matters about which he is blatantly ignorant. It would serve him to read and understand the Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which he claims gives him the ... Read More »

In his Jan. 19 MLA Report in the News, Drew Barnes states that former PM Stephen Harper had “a steady fiscally prudent eye on our hard-earned tax dollars” and he provided “less debt liability for future generations.” The facts seem to indicate otherwise. Over PM Harper’s 10 years in office (Feb./06 to Nov./15) the federal ... Read More »

Re: “Comments not rational, civilized or reasonable,” Jan. 18 Thank you, Mr. Condon, for your letter. You have many questions, all of which I would very much like to answer, hopefully to your satisfaction. Unfortunately the comments column only has so many lines of print and I feel we could better converse if we meet ... Read More »

Note to Premier Notley and her government: If you desire to have a lasting legacy to your time in office, I present this for your serious consideration. Instead of dribbling away the hundreds of millions of dollars (maybe billions) that the carbon tax will generate for provincial coffers, consider the big picture. How about passenger ... Read More »

Re: “So sorry, but I am not sorry,” Jan. 22 I think Paul McLennan wrote his last column backwards. He ends it with “These columns are my personal opinion on the matters of the world … If you do not agree with my opinions, you are probably wrong. But that is just my opinion.” It ... Read More »
