Letter: Smith’s UCP must take action as illnesses rise
By Letter to the Editor on November 23rd, 2022
Dear editor, As Albertans hear more and more frequently about the combined wave of COVID, flu and RSV on our doorsteps, we hear silence from our provincial government… or worse. One of Premier Danielle Smith’s first actions in power was to ban school districts from protecting our children with masks. This was done without consultation ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Does Smith have the support of Albertans
By Letter to the Editor on November 16th, 2022
Dear editor, Danielle Smith is now the authentic premier of our province having finally been elected. Strange that she chose Brooks-Medicine Hat as, I’ll wager, she has no intent on living here or even visiting here in the near future. But does this victory suggest the voting public has given her or her party a ... Read More »

1 responseLetter: It’s time we all settle down a bit
By Letter to the Editor on November 10th, 2022
Dear editor, People are angry but they are angry at the wrong things. The left is angry at the right and the right is angry at the left and that anger has metastasized into outright hate for those who think and vote differently than someone else. This hate has been growing for years and years ... Read More »
2 responsesLetter: A ‘wonderful and heartening visit’ highlighted by insightful conversations
By Letter to the Editor on November 8th, 2022
Dear editor, Visiting from Ottawa, a “Flash of winter” was turned into a “Harbinger of spring” by our experience in the Hat. Going to and coming from dinner we used the services of Care Cab, a local taxi company. The service was excellent by both drivers and the person with disabilities and a ¨walker” who ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Medicine Hat News should be welcoming byelection-based letters to the editor
By Letter to the Editor on November 3rd, 2022
Dear editor, A typical forum used by individuals to express their views has been taken away in the Brooks-Medicine Hat byelection. The Medicine Hat News suddenly decided not to print any byelection-related letters because “it would be impossible to reflect a balanced version of overall submissions, and the News doesn’t want to give the impression ...

Be the first to comment!Letter: Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched
By Letter to the Editor on October 26th, 2022
Dear editor, As the ages old adage says ‘Do not count your chickens before they are hatched’, that’s what I would advise Ukraine not to do. The recent military successes by the courageous and proud Ukrainian people, every last one of them, should/must result in serious and final successful negotiations with Putin’s Russia. Why should ...

1 responseLetter: Unions have been essential to Alberta economy
By Letter to the Editor on October 20th, 2022
Dear editor, To an uninformed writer: The construction unions in Alberta built Suncor and Syncrude. In the 2000s we doubled the size of both, while building four other world-class facilities in the Fort Mc Murray area. All Alberta construction union labour, and with no strike contracts. This is where all the revenue comes from. Give ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Danielle Smith seems to have a conquer then divide approach
By Letter to the Editor on October 20th, 2022
Dear editor, Southeastern Alberta is no more the forgotten corner. Premier Danielle Smith, the newly elected UCP leader, aspires to be the next MLA for Brooks – Medicine Hat. This decision and her recent pronouncements are revealing about her style. She called this byelection to become a MLA. She stated that the convention is to ... Read More »
2 responsesLetter: Concrete islands on Carry Drive a hazard
By Letter to the Editor on October 19th, 2022
Dear editor, The two new centrally located raised-concrete islands on Carry Drive are, in my view, an unnecessary and potentially hazardous roadway addition. Traffic channelling could be achieved with painted markings, (as currently demonstrated by the newly painted road markings leading up to, surrounding, and behind the subject raised-concrete islands). Painted islands are also common ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: AISH payments need more than reindexing
By Letter to the Editor on October 12th, 2022
Dear editor, The discussion about AISH in the political arena has been centred around reindexing, which is nice and should be done. But it is too little too late. There has not been a significant raise in AISH since Alison Redford was premier, and she stepped down in 2014. The current AISH is $1,685 per ... Read More »
