Violence in the name of religion is not the answer
By Letter to the Editor on February 27th, 2018
“Where have all the flowers gone…..” a well-known song from the 1960s ends. When will they ever learn? Reading and watching the news and seeing the same scenes of man’s inhumanity to man replayed over and over, year after year, generation after generation, era after era, reminded me of that song and the eternal question; ...

Be the first to comment!Why push for crude to be exported?
By Letter to the Editor on February 24th, 2018
I sympathize with those in British Columbia who are opposed to an additional oil pipeline without sufficient environmental guarantees. The people who have the power to force the pipeline to be built are not the ones who will suffer the consequences of the inevitable oil spills. The bullying to which the latter are being subjected ... Read More »
5 responsesA global call for Canada’s financial assistance
By Letter to the Editor on February 23rd, 2018
In our increasingly interconnected world, we must acknowledge the millions of people living in a poverty we will never fully comprehend. Yes, there is poverty in Canada but there’s no good reason we can’t address both the poverty here and the poverty abroad. We are one of the richest countries on the planet, making it ... Read More »
1 responseBiblical prophecies have been fulfilled
By Letter to the Editor on February 23rd, 2018
In reply to Dale Kosie’s “Prophecies ambiguous to the point of absurdity” I give him three crystal clear prophecies with their fulfillment: 1) Micah ch.5v2. “But you Bethlehem Ephratah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be the Ruler in Israel, ...

1 responseNeed RCMP action to stop rural thief
By Letter to the Editor on February 22nd, 2018
Area business and ranchers are not happy with the local RCMP detachment. There is a prowler breaking into rural property. Reported with a very clear description, Dodge truck, white with black passenger door and fender, diesel, flat deck, dually with one odd tire tread on rear. Suspect is about 6-foot, larger build, tattoos around neck. ... Read More »
1 responseEarly tribes were, in fact, well organized
By Letter to the Editor on February 21st, 2018
Thank you to this newspaper for publishing letters to the editor. It is always interesting and educational to read different people’s points of view. I find it much more interesting to read those than the reprinted editorials. I also enjoy the articles written by the local writers on your staff. I read Mr. Mueller’s recent ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Snow removal should be a priority
By Letter to the Editor on February 21st, 2018
It is little wonder that a fierce debate is raging in Calgary at the moment over snow removal. It’s a debate that should be local as well. “Clearing” only pushes snow off the roads É and usually onto our sidewalks. The usual pattern of freeze-and-thaw results in icy and treacherous sidewalks when the mounds at ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Federal gov’t summer employment program is discriminatory
By Letter to the Editor on February 21st, 2018
In my view, the federal government is discriminating against those who do not share its moral values in the Summer Employment Grant Program. I think it is an assault on freedom of religion and freedom of conscience in Canada. Val T. Felesky Medicine Hat... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Construction industry a key cog in driving Alberta forward
By Letter to the Editor on February 19th, 2018
Alberta Construction Association (ACA) recently sent MLAs a copy of our Capital Plan Recommendations ahead of the 2018 budget. With the development of schools, funding to various municipal public transit projects, and increasing need for expansion or construction on hospitals the province continues to have infrastructure needs that must be met regardless of economic circumstances. ...

1 responseReckless to allow anyone under 18 to use cannabis
By Letter to the Editor on February 16th, 2018
I just spent the morning reading Bill C-45, the new cannabis law. I discovered under the section for possession, it states that a youth (12 to 18) who possesses more than five grams of dried marijuana will be charged under the Youth Criminal Justice Act but does not mention anything about amounts under five grams ...

2 responsesPipeline feud between Alberta and B.C. not about oil, it’s about destroying rights
By Letter to the Editor on February 16th, 2018
The Alberta-B.C. pipeline feud isn’t about oil, it’s about destroying your rights. Oh, and getting votes. Remember the Exxon Valdez because with increased tanker traffic in constricted waterways, it’s when, not if. Millions of people rely on the waterways for drinking water, the beaches, ecosystems, and infrastructure, and there’ll be devastation for years to come ... Read More »
