Letter: Abandoned e-scooters making life miserable for those who rely on their mobility scooter
By James Tubb on June 21st, 2022
Dear editor, I am seriously considering MAID (medically assisted in dying) because of growing health concerns and the continuing loss of my mobility. I am now 95% wheelchair dependent and cannot even tie my own shoes because of arthritis in my back. The sad part is I cannot enjoy what could be my last summer ... Read More »
2 responsesLetter: There is nothing wrong with banning the most dangerous guns and making them harder to get
By Letter to the Editor on June 10th, 2022
In response to Ian Parkinson’s June 8 letter to the editor, “Banning guns does not make them disappear.” Dear editor, As a hunter of 65 years and a long time conservative, I found Ian Parkinson’s June 8 letter to the editor very disturbing and just plain stupid. As much as I am not a fan ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on June 8th, 2022
Dear editor, Trudeau and his cheap-suited bureaucrats are lying to Canadians. Spoiler alert, I am one of those law abiding, law respecting, safety trained, safe user, daily checked for criminal activity firearms owner. Now Justin Trudeau and his lacking imagination and common sense ministers and bureaucrats keep yapping about “banning guns” as if using that ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Deception is an incredible thing
By Letter to the Editor on June 8th, 2022
Dear editor, Since the days of early 1960s (some might remember way back) the National Enquirer tabloid wrote outlandish stories that sold a lot of newspapers. Quickly some others started up similar newspapers with the same kind of fiction content – then came along the telephone scammers we’re all familiar with. Today we’ve got cell ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: We need to establish the limits
By Letter to the Editor on June 8th, 2022
Dear editor, Now that we can eat in restaurants again the focused attention on freedom appears to be largely fading and “life goes on.” But a subtle shift in attitude seems to have occurred, and without due consideration. Rather than individual responsibility, family and community supports, we now look even more to government. Pierre Trudeau ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on June 7th, 2022
To the communities of Medicine Hat/surrounding area and our fellow health-care colleagues: These last couple of years have proven to be undoubtedly some of the hardest shifts that we have had to face. There have been tears, frustration and a whole team of passionate individuals questioning their purpose in their field. But with this pandemic, ... Read More »
2 responsesLetter: A wonderful church that welcomes all
By Letter to the Editor on June 2nd, 2022
Dear editor, This is about my years attending one of the finest churches in this city, Hillcrest Church. How about 30 years? The pastor there (Pastor Steve Pahl) is, to my finding, one of the best speakers – very fluent wording, very well read in his sermons. All my family see this pastor as a ... Read More »
3 responsesLetter: Constitution should apply to those living, but not yet born
By Letter to the Editor on June 2nd, 2022
Dear editor, Cash Moore (who usually makes a lot of sense) is probably right in saying there is no worry about Canada restricting access to abortion (while we worry about an aging population). However, it is questionable to allege that restricting abortion is unconstitutional. The constitution, if observed as it should be, guarantees Canadians the ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Stop relying on social media for information
By Letter to the Editor on June 2nd, 2022
Dear editor, What is responsible news media? Responsible news media is radio, TV and newspapers who, if an error is detected in their distribution or dissemination, correct the error as soon as it is detected. Other media, who are not as bound to honesty or factual information, do not retract anything. Instead, they manufacture items, ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Fed up with ease of gun accessibility across North America
By Letter to the Editor on May 31st, 2022
Dear editor, Claims that it is difficult to control guns is a repeated response from politicians in North America after a mass shooting. But nothing concrete ever really changes, despite proposed regulations to prevent future massacres. However, there really is one very simple solution, although extremely controversial, (and very unpopular for some), and that is ... Read More »
4 responsesLetter: Leader may change, but regime will stay the same
By Letter to the Editor on May 25th, 2022
In response to Scott Schmidt’s May 21 column, “What could be worse than Jason Kenney?” Dear editor, The facts recounted in Mr. Schmidt’s editorial are correct. During the last three years, anyone paying attention will have observed the choices made by the UCP, and the dismal outcomes from those choices. The most dismal outcome of ... Read More »
